Hi,
I have a bunch of Tableau report embedded with a kind of service account. The problem with this service account is that the password is known by too many people. We therefore want to change the password for this account so it'smore secure. Can this be done without going into every single report and change it, for example use tabcmd? Any tip?
Best regards
Jan-Vidar
Hi Jan-Vidar,
The publish command (tabcmd Commands - Tableau) of tabcmd has an option to provide a username and password, but you would first need to download each data source before publishing again, and that doesn't feel very efficient.
Have you considered using the REST API? It has a method to update data source connections (Data Sources Methods - Tableau) which includes username and password:
You can find samples of using the API on that same link to our documentation.
Hope this helps!
Santiago
