Anonymous users

By default, queries can be anonymously submitted to the scheduler. In the dashboard, queries submitted anonymously are shown as Anonymous User in the query list. To attach a username to a query, you can use the POLARS_CLOUD_USER_NAME environment variable or the pc.Config.set_user_name() method.

import polars_cloud as pc
pc.Config.set_user_name("username@example.com")

To deny all queries that don't have any username attached, you can set the deny_anonymous_users configuration option to true in the scheduler section of the configuration file.

[scheduler]
enabled = true
deny_anonymous_users = true

Difference between Anonymous Users and Anonymous Results

Note that Anonymous Users and Anonymous Results are different. Anonymous Users refer to queries that are submitted without a username, while Anonymous Results refer to queries without an explicit output sink.
