There is a KB article that gives the following instructions for changing the Active Directory domain that is used by Tableau Server
- Add users from new domain.
- Change the contents owner/permission of workbooks/projects/datasources to the users of the new domain.
- Delete users of old domain.
https://kb.tableau.com/articles/howto/changing-the-active-directory-domain
It does not give any details as how to accomplish step 2 which is changing the owners of workbooks to the new users of the new domain. Does anyone know how to do this in bulk for thousands of users?
Hello, @greg p
There is no built-in feature set to do this automatically. However, there are a couple of options to achieve your desired end-state.
Option 1) Use the REST API. You would need to use the Update Workbook and Update Data Source API calls. Going this route, you'd need to know each user's username from both the old and new domains. Then you can write some code (python, powershell, whatever) to cycle through everything and do updates.
Option 2) This one is a maybe since I don't really have a means of trying it. But, if you have the Tableau Server Management Add-on, I suspect you could use the Content Migration tool to handle this.
