Is it possible to delete a user from a Site using tabcmd?

Jeremy DeVoss Aug 31, 2012 12:06 PM

I would like to be able to remove a given user (or list of users) from a specific site using the tabcmd utility. Using the deleteusers command, I can delete one or more users from the Server, which is too broad of a scope.

Is this even possible?

Thanks for any and all thoughts or help,

After talking with Tableau, this is not possible with the current version of the TABCMD utility.

I've come across this issue as well.
Version 8.2 will allow for deletion via the REST API, however in the meantime my workaround was using the following:

tabcmd createsiteusers "users.csv" -t "MySiteID" --license "unlicensed"

createsiteusers will actually modify an existing site user, and unlicensing them will effectively prevent the user from being able to do anything on that site.
