![]() ![]() ![]() Signing in to a Tableau Cloud site from an approved client, such as Tableau Mobile or Tableau Desktop. Publishing a data source from Tableau Desktop. The following user workflows can use the OAuth process:Ĭreating a workbook and connecting to the data source from Tableau Desktop or from Tableau Cloud. Tableau Cloud presents the workbook and data to the user. Upon the user's confirmation, the data provider sends an access token back to Tableau Cloud. When the user signs in to the data, the provider prompts the user to confirm their authorization for Tableau Cloud to access the data. The information that is sent to the data provider identifies Tableau as the requesting site. Tableau directs the user to the cloud data provider’s sign-in page. The following steps describe a workflow in the Tableau environment that calls the OAuth process.Ī user takes an action that requires access to a cloud-based data source.įor example, you open a workbook that’s published to Tableau Cloud. Note: For live connections to Google BigQuery data, each workbook viewer can have a unique access token that identifies the user, rather than sharing a single user name and password credential. Security: Your database credentials are never known to or stored in Tableau Cloud, and the access token can be used only by Tableau on behalf of users.Ĭonvenience: Instead of having to embed your data source ID and password in multiple places, you can use the token provided for a particular data provider for all published workbooks and data sources that access that data provider. Using OAuth-based connections provides the following benefits: For more information, see Overview of the OAuth process below. ![]() This access token is used to access data on users' behalf. After user provide their credentials and authorize Tableau to access their data, the authentication provider sends Tableau an access token that uniquely identifies Tableau and the users. Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google BigQuery, Google Sheets (deprecated in March 2022)įrom Tableau, when users sign in to data with a connector that uses OAuth, users are redirected to the authentication provider’s sign-in page.Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, Azure SQL, Azure Synapse.The following connectors support OAuth authentication: On the deep end, however, you could have a "master" token that has access to a workspace with all available scopes included.An alternative to storing your sensitive database credentials with Tableau Cloud is to create connections using the OAuth 2.0 standard. For example, on the narrow end, you can create a PAT that only has a single scope to a single base in Airtable. Personal Access Tokens or PATs allow users to create multiple access tokens that allow for a wide range of access to the information held in Airtable bases. While there are no immediate actions you need to take right now as we work to make this transition as smooth as possible, we recommend all users begin migrating away from legacy API Keys to our new API authentication methods. Since this is a major change to the Airtable API, the deprecation period will last for 12 months and end on Feb 1, 2024. Related to this, webhooks created by user API keys in enterprise bases will expire at the end of this period. On January 18th, 2023, we began the deprecation period of user API keys.
