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]

    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://example01.online.tableau.com/#/site/examplecompanysitename/home

    • Self-hosted:

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

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

    This data is used to configure the connector.
