Pulling masked or sensitive data #255

Is there a way to pull masked or sensitive (i.e. secured occurrence) data through the bcdata package?

HI @joburgar - that's a great question. Currently you can authenticate with private catalogue records and file resources, using your BC Data Catalogue API key. However this doesn't apply to secured WFS spatial data (i.e., that you would access through bcdc_query_geodata()), which I'm guessing is what you're after. I will investigate and follow up when I learn more!

Has there been any changes made to allow access to secured layers? I see this request is a bit old but thought better to comment here rather than start a new request. It would be great if could log in with IDIR credentials and have access to all data in the bcgw.bcgov.sde database. For some workflows I need to go and save local copies of secured data sets someplace I can access with R, woudl be nice to not have to jump between software and update local copies every time I use them
