Create a username and password in RStudio Server

I installed RStudio Server and I could possibly get access to this server with . From there, they asked me a username and a password, but I don't even know what it could be. It is possible to get a little bit more information from that website.

Every user in the linux system can login in the rstudio IDE, unless you limit it, for example to certain groups:

# /etc/rstudio/rserver.conf
auth-required-user-group=analysts,admins,rstudio-users

You can check more details at RStudio user documentation

You can just use your username and password to login to the ubuntu as stated by @rodrigobb, and if your Rstudio is running in a container, you can just create a user and set the password as follows:

useradd abc
passwd abc 

Don't forget to make a home directory for user abc:

mkdir /home/abc
chown -R abc /home/abc

Otherwise, you'll get this error prompt:

could not connect to the r session on rstudio server unable to connect to service
