Using the Embedded API and On Demand Access, can we set up row level security based on USERNAME() and entitlement tables?
We are using the Embedded API to display Tableau dashboards in a web portal. Our row level security is based on the username mapped to a customer ID in an entitlement table, so the user can only see their personal data.
For On-Demand Access (ODA), it looks like we don't have to provision users on our Tableau Server. Rather, access will be controlled on the web portal side, and the web portal can send user attributes to Tableau via the token.
With ODA are we still able to use our entitlement tables for RLS? Will it be secure? It's critical that our customers can not see other user's data.
Right now, our plan is:
Set up the connected app using Direct Trust
Set up Tableau Groups for ODA
Updated the token to enable ODA and Groups, and then pass an username() attribute to Tableau
Set up the entitlement table with username and Customer ID
Created a relationship to the main dataset using Customer ID
Created a security filter lower([Customer]) = lower(USERATTRIBUTE("Username")) and set to TRUE
Published Tableau data source and connect the embedded workbooks to that data source
For testing, we have my personal email hardcoded in the token under the "sub" as we needed a provisioned user to test the connection to our Tableau site. Can that be removed once everything is set up?
How to configure the OAuth provider when connect Tableau Cloud to AWS Athena using OAuth authentication?
I’m currently in the process of connecting Tableau Cloud to AWS Athena using OAuth authentication. I’ve managed to gather all the necessary information except for the OAuth Provider, which shows as "OAuth is not configured."
Could anyone guide me on what specific information I need to configure the OAuth Provider for this setup in Tableau Cloud?
Any help or guidance on how to properly configure this in Tableau Cloud would be greatly appreciated!
Hi all, I am so confused with this error. I created a calculation in Tableau Prep as follows: { PARTITION[ConcatField]:{ ORDERBY [ConcatField]:ROW_NUMBER()} } .... Read more in Details
Hi all,
I am so confused with this error.
I created a calculation (RN) in Tableau Prep as follows: { PARTITION[ConcatField]:{ ORDERBY [ConcatField]:ROW_NUMBER()} }.
I can run the flow, and everything looks good without error on local desktop Tableau Prep. However, I can't run the flow as it occurs an error saying that invalid RN field (screenshot attached below) when I published this flow to Tableau Cloud.
Hyperlink does not work when going to the URL from tableau cloud, but it does from tableau desktop?
Within tableau we have some URLs to various pages in our back-office system provided by Intelliflo. Previously these had worked in both the desktop and cloud versions of tableau. However, at the weekend Intelliflo made some functional changes and this meant the URLs needed to be updated. This has not been a problem and I’ve updated URL within the desktop version which looks like: -
I have checked all of the actions and this link works correctly for all of them in the desktop version. However, when I publish to tableau cloud and use the URL it gets blocked and I end up at the Intelliflo landing page: -
If I copy and paste the link above into chrome the page opens without a problem so I know there is no issue with the URL that has been created in the desktop version. However, I have absolutely no idea why the same URL will not work from tableau cloud?
Need Help Changing Email on Tableau Public – Stuck in a Loop!
Hi DataFam,
I need some help changing the email address on my Tableau Public account. I originally registered with my school email seven years ago, but the school has since discontinued it. You’d think this would be straightforward, but when I tried updating it, I kept getting redirected to a page claiming my account is a Tableau Cloud email. (https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=001458204&type=1)
I reached out to the Tableau Cloud team, but they told me my account isn’t associated with any Cloud instance (email attached). I’ve been bounced around between three Tableau teams (Operations, Public, and Cloud), and now no one is responding to help me update my email.
I’m really frustrated and worried I might lose access to my Tableau Public account, where all my visualizations are stored. Has anyone faced a similar issue or found a way to resolve it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Tableau Pulse not creating new metrics when filtered
Hi,
As I understand it, the way to create new metrics under a metric definition is to filter the existing metric and click on the check button. Tableau Pulse is then supposed to automatically create a new metric based on the filters that I selected. However, whenever I try to do this, my metrics are not being saved. When I click the back button, no new metrics are created. I'm only seeing 1 metric for each metric definition.
Is this a known issue? How can I create new metrics under the same metric definition?
After setting the refresh token for Oauth integration with Snowflake for 90 days, the connection got expired and again asking to login?
I have MFA enabled in my Snowflake account and am using OAuth to connect from Tableau.
The issue is that the token expires after one day, requiring us to reauthenticate and approve MFA to reset the OAuth token. We cannot do this manually every few days.
I am trying to get my Tableau Pulse Metrics data using the REST api but I am getting only definition details and other details, but not getting the values. How to get the current value of the metric?
I am getting the details using the following apis:
GET {server}/api/-/pulse/metrics/{metric_id}
GET {server}/api/-/pulse/definitions/{definition_id}
But none of the response include the current value.
