Command to sign in to Alteryx server from a remote computer

Question

Is there a command which can be used in Alteryx to sign to an Alteryx server using a remote computer.
For example :
I have a Powell script on a remote computer and i want to be able to log on to an Alteryx server .
Using Tableau you use "tabcmd login -s" To sign to the server and embed a username and password.

Is there a way to do it in alterxy.

Hi @Machingwa,

To add to Andre's comment above, this would depend pretty heavily on what you then wanted to do.

Using Tabcmd, you would sign in so that you can then start issuing commands to that Tableau server for usually administrative tasks whereas the AlteryxService command Line is about interacting with the AlteryxService, not the Alteryx Server necessarily.

Tabcmd is a Command Line Interface (CLI) not just a Service cmdLine.

If you are looking to script admin tasks for Users etc, that is not currently supported (ideas can be added at the ideas page), however you can kick off workflows and get status etc either via the aforementioned AlteryxService cmdLine or via the Gallery API.
