Research direction

Start by tracing AzureRMR's package-loading behavior and the existing AzureRMR::save_credentials() entry point. Confirm that loading the package no longer prompts for input, while users can still explicitly save credentials through the documented function; verify the behavior in an automatic or non-interactive deployment.

Description

Hi,

Recently, AzureRMR asks the user whether or not to store credentials in a local file upon first loading the package. This behaviour is annoying as it breaks automatic deployments (e.g. Shiny apps), especially when run in interactive / development mode. It is not good practice to ask the user for input upon loading a library. Is it possible to disable the question and (if at all necessary) provide the user information ("please call AzureRMR::save_credentials() to store credentials, ..." or something like it)?
