Hi everyone,
We are currently planning to embed a dashboard on our company website using Tableau Public.
When the employee who published the dashboard leaves the company, we need to transfer the ownership of the viz to a new person's account.
However, we want to keep the same embed URL because changing the URL requires updating the HTML code on our live website, which is costly.
I found a thread from 2019 saying that transferring ownership is not supported on Tableau Public, and the only way is to let the coworker download the viz and publish it to their own account (which generates a completely new URL).
Is this still true in 2026? My questions:
Is there any new feature to transfer ownership to another account while keeping the existing URL?
If not, is using a "shared/team Salesforce account" the only best practice to maintain the same URL for website embedding when personnel changes?
Thanks in advance!
Hi, my answers below:

Yes, it is true.

No, it is not possible.
If not, is using a "shared/team Salesforce account" the only best practice to maintain the same URL for website embedding when personnel changes?
Yes, as a best practice orgs should create an account for the org and use it to publish their contents. That way they will keep the dashboards under the same account.
If this post resolves the question, would you be so kind to "Accept this Answer"?. This will help other users find the same answer/resolution and help community keep track of answered questions. Thank you.
