Restrict publishers to run the extracts on tableau server manually

gopinath.mukkapati Jun 29, 2016 5:04 PM

Hi ,

I'm wondering if we have an option to restrict the users who has publisher rights to refresh their datasources manually on the server? I know there is a way to restrict publishers to schedule the extracts in tableau server. I'm seeing some extracts running in the day time by the publishers. They might be running to test their extracts but running them at peak hours is impacting the server performance. Hope some one has already noticed such issue and have some solution to restrict it.

I'm using Tableau Server 9.0.1

Thanks,

Gopi

No, you can't. Best thing I've found is to set up the schedules you want them to be able to use, and for any that you don't, put something in all caps in the name of the schedule to give them a clue not to assign work to it willy-nilly. It's a kludgy solution but it works okay.

Keep publishers from manually running extracts? No. But that is not a bad Idea
