Hi,
We're using Tableau 2018.3 in production currently, and we use a small team of Site Administrators to manage Explorer-class users. Although they can manage normal processes of account creation, they don't have the option of changing the Display Name of users. Is there any way to accomplish this? We'd rather not have to promote them to Server Administrators!
Thanks for any guidance you can offer.
ok. I had a look at the REST API "update user" method (which I think is what is called under the covers). Reference-Tableau Server REST API - Tableau
And within the API doc is this text.
I'm not sure why Tableau did it this way, but it is what it is. Is it an option for site admins to delete the user and then add the user back? This I think is one way of doing it, but may be too abrasive. You could also write a program to update the internal db "users" table directly, but that's considered a hack and perhaps a risky route and not worth it.
