Disable Publishing Extract and Packaged Workbooks

Cédric Tran Nov 14, 2018 6:22 AM

Hi Everyone,

I would like to know how (or if there is a way) to disable user ability to Publish Extracts and/or Packaged Workbooks on the Server.

Question related, but more focused on Desktop: is there a way to disable Extract functionality?

Thanks for your help :-)

Cedric

Hello Cedric,

The ability to publish to Tableau Server could be controlled by granting the users that you do not want to publish the Viewer role on Tableau Server or Tableau Online.

Set Users’ Site Roles - Tableau

More information can be found here: Publish Data Sources and Workbooks - Tableau

Also I would check out this great comparison of Tableau Viewer and Reader. Tableau Viewer vs. Reader

As for disabling the ability to extract in Tableau Desktop. This would be a feature request and can be submitted to the Tableau Ideas forum: Ideas

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
Byrne, Patrick
