Alteryx to Tableau Server

[Raphael_Kotzock]

Hello everyone,

has anyone every leverage  Alteryx  to automatically add users to Tableau server. In more detail, I am hoping to create a flow that will identify new users from our Active Directory (that part is easy) and then have the new users be automatically added to the Tableau Server site?

Thanks for help in advance!

Tableau Server can syn with AD automatically BUT you have to choose that option when you are installing Tableau Server and you CANNOT change it afterwards.

If you're using local authentication then you probably want to use a Run Command tool after you've created a batch file using tabcmd to create the users.

See https://onlinehelp.tableau.com/current/server/en-us/tabcmd_cmd.htm for more details on how to use tabcmd.

You will need to install tabcmd before using it and if you want to run this workflow on Alteryx Server you will have to install tabcmd there as well.
