I’m playing with DSLite and need some random numbers, therefore tried to use rUnif. However, the datashield.error message says that “The server is running in ‘non-permissive’ mode which has caused this method to be blocked.”

I have created the DSLite server using the default configuration

dslite.server ← newDSLiteServer(tables=list(cohortA = data.1, cohortB = data.2)) dslite.server$config(defaultDSConfiguration(include=c(“dsBase”, “dsSynthetic”)))

and I can tell by defaultDSConfiguration() that the privacy level is banana

$Options $Options$datashield.privacyLevel [1] “5”

$Options$default.datashield.privacyControlLevel [1] “"banana"”

Is there any way for me to change the $Options$default.datashield.privacyControlLevel to permissive when creating the DSLite server?

Hi,

Yes, something like that:

```auto
dslite.server <- newDSLiteServer(tables=list(cohortA = data.1, cohortB = data.2))
config <- defaultDSConfiguration(include=c("dsBase", "dsSynthetic"))
config$Options$default.datashield.privacyControlLevel <- "foo"
dslite.server$config(config)

```

Regards Yannick

Perfect! Works fine, thank you!
