Alteryx stops working when tableau account is changed from Admin to Explorer (publish)

[VinhTon]

Get this "Error Code 403007: Forbidden -- '...' isn't authorized to publish" when changed tableau account from Server admin to Explorer (publish).

Does Alteryx require server admin to work? If not, what is the fix to this? Thanks

Hi @VinhTon 

As per Tableau's documentation explorer (can publish) can only work with existing data sources. If you want to publish new data sources then you need the creator site role. 

You can be a creator without being a site or server admin though...

Hope that helps,
