Integrate with Tableau Online

Use 黑料海角91入口 SAML Single Sign On (SSO) to give your users convenient but secure access to all their web applications with a single set of credentials. Integrate your 黑料海角91入口 account with Tableau Online (Tableau) through an identity management connector. After you connect 黑料海角91入口 with Tableau, you can provision, update, and deprovision users in Tableau through your 黑料海角91入口 Administrator Portal. Leverage this integration for centralized user lifecycle management and get immediate attribute management of users bound to integrated applications.

Read this article to learn how to integrate Tableau.

Prerequisites

  • A 黑料海角91入口 administrator account.
  • 黑料海角91入口 SSO Package or higher or SSO 脿 la carte option
  • A Tableau administrator account
  • Your Tableau Online alias
  • Default members must be added to your Tableau groups ahead of time

Important Considerations

  • SSO for Tableau is recommended, not required, prior to creating an Identity Management integration. SSO simplifies the login process for your users and reduces the number of usernames and passwords they have to remember.
  • The Tableau SCIM integration uses聽.听
  • If you delete an integrated Tableau application from your Applications list, the application is removed from 黑料海角91入口, but any previously bound users remain active in Tableau. These users will be able log in to Tableau with the password they used prior to enablement of SSO to the Tableau application from your 黑料海角91入口 account.
  • If you deactivate the Identity Management on your Tableau application, previously bound users remain active in Tableau and able to authenticate using SSO. No further updates will be made to user accounts via the Identity Management integration
  • If you need to update your token, you must聽deactivate the IdM integration, update the token, and then reactivate the IdM integration
  • If the site admin鈥檚 role changes or the user is removed from the site, the secret token becomes invalid, and another site administrator must generate a new secret token and apply it to the configuration in 黑料海角91入口.
  • If a user鈥檚 password expires in 黑料海角91入口, their account becomes suspended and they are deactivated in all applications that have Identity Management configured and, are associated to them. Once the user鈥檚 password is updated, the account and previously associated applications are reactivated.
  • Groups are supported

Attribute Considerations

  • A default set of attributes are managed for users. See the聽Attribute Mappings聽section for more details
  • Tableau does not support Sync Password functionality. The Password attribute is ignored.
  • The username and primary email attributes must match. 
  • Tableau only supports one primary email.
    • Email addresses that have a 鈥�+鈥� in the username are not supported for SSO. The user is successfully created via the SCIM integration. However, the user won鈥檛 be able to log in with this type of email address.
  • Tableau sets deactivated user's roles as Unlicensed. 
  • If SSO is not enabled, new users are prompted to provide a first name, last name, and password when they sign in to Tableau for the first time. First Name and Last Name attributes are not synced to Tableau via SCIM.
  • Display Name is not propagated to Tableau.
  • Display name is set to the SCIM name.formatted value. If first name and last name were not set in 黑料海角91入口, the value is not provided. Tableau will set the display name to the user鈥檚 email address. This also applies if only the last name was set in 黑料海角91入口.
