Active Directory Users & E-Mail Subscriptions

Hilary Cooksley Jan 5, 2017 12:29 PM

Howdy!

Has anyone had any luck importing user e-mails when adding users via active directory? For example, if I use local authentication to add a new user to Tableau Server, I am given the option to specify an e-mail account for that user:

However, this same option is not available when I import users using Active Directory:

Has anyone come up with a way to ensure an e-mail address is added to each user profile on Tableau Server when they are imported via active directory?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Hilary - we use Active Directory to import all our users and as our user's email addresses are all stored as part of their AD record, the emails just all get imported. I'm guessing by choosing to import from AD the assumption is all the data you hold about a user is stored in the AD.

We use AD to import groups rather single users. When we add a new user into the group in AD we just sync the group in Tableau.
All details are stored in AD as per Donna's reply.

Any reason why you are adding a single user rather than using groups?
