I think this here gets pretty close: https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#Does-R-run-under-Windows-Vista_003f

The above FAQ points to this course of action. I think this is the first thing to try, and it's reasonably simple. Just install the R packages in a different location with write access. Like C:\RLibrary and set the environment variable R_LIBS as described here https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#I-don_0027t-have-permission-to-write-to-the-R_002d3_002e5_002e1_005clibrary-directory

can you give that a try with your student? This is not and issue with (our) R code.

Dear Florian,

Thank you for your help. Today I have checked with my student and it seems to work.

Have a nice weekend,

Bests,

An Nguyen
