Publish to Tableau Server - not authorized

[Grzegorz]

Hi,

can you please support me in setting the ‘Publish to Tableau Server’ tool?

I know that versions both of Alteryx and Tableau Server are important so saying shortly:

• Alteryx returns an error:

• The tool connects me to tableau server at first step (‘connect’ button works).

Then the ‘Configure Data Source’ panel is set up as:

Output options: Overwrite

Data source format: Tableau Data Extract(*.tde)

Project name and data source name are chosen correctly.

• Alteryx version -  2019.3.2.15763
• Tableau version -  2019.2.4 (20192.19.0917.1648) 64 bit
• I can manually upload the .tde file through Tableau on the same account so surely I have permissions from the server to publish unless the server.

Can you please advise how can we solve it?

@Grzegorz I believe this error was causing due to insufficient privileges on Tableau side.

For awareness, had a similar issue caused by two Tableau projects with the same name.  The Publish to Tableau tool shows the lowest level Tableau project folder.  So if there is a Tableau project structure like Team A > Project and Team B > Project make sure the Tableau group permissions are aligned.

In our case, the user had publish permissions to the project folder in Team A, but not Team B by design.  Since the publish to tableau tool in Alteryx only shows Project, the user will get this permission error if the Team B Project folder is selected.
