Enable guest access by site (Released in 10.2)

tableaucommunity@tableau.com — Fri, 02 Jun 2017 18:41:37 GMT

We heavily use sites to split our server environment per business units.

Some would like to enable guest access in order to make some dashboards available to a large number of users. However, we (as the owner of the enterprise platform) would like to control who can do it or not. The reasons are:

- even if permissions should prevent it, we want to keep the regular access for most sites to avoid exposure of confidential data

- performance management

Being able to turn guest access at the site level would help a lot.

Access PowerPivot file via SharePoint ULR

tableaucommunity@tableau.com — Wed, 06 Nov 2013 23:17:06 GMT

Hello,

We're testing PowerPivot as a data source. The file is published on SharePoint 2013. When we try to connect via Tableau, we get the following error:

We can download the file via a web browser (so no permission issue) and open it in Tableau as a local Excel file.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Emmanuel.
