Configuration of Tableau Online

The Snow Integration Connector for Tableau Online is used for finding the following information about an organization's Tableau Online account:

  • Number of users

  • Each user's assumed subscription license (based on the user's site role)

    This information provides a general view, since a particular user may have been assigned a site role with more limited permissions than their actual license permits.

  • Login activity

    Please note that login information is based on the last login date; thus, it may not fully represent user activity.

The configuration must be started and prepared according to SaaS connector configuration.

Prerequisites

The user name and password of an existing Tableau Online account holder with one of the following administrator site roles: 

  • SiteAdministratorCreator

  • SiteAdministratorExplorer

Get the Tableau site and domain names

  • Log into the Tableau Online account and copy the domain/server address and the identifier from the URL for the Site name and Domain name as shown in the below examples:

    Example 9.

    In the following URL examples, the domain, example01.online.tableau.com, network-address, or IP address 192.0.0.123 is the domain for your Tableau server installation, and the sitename, or examplecompanysitename is the identifier for the site.

    • Cloud-hosted:

      • https://domain/#/site/sitename/home

      • https://www.example01.online.tableau.com/#/site/examplecompanysitename/home

    • Self-hosted:

      • https://network-address/#/site/sitename/home

      • https://192.0.0.123/#/site/examplecompanysitename/home
