Hi, I'm trying to import Users from a CSV file but I get an error message that the Password(s) is/are missing. We are self hosted on a Linux box. We use OneLogin to manage authentication. I am a Site Administrator on the Site. I tried to import users from Tableau Server > Users > Import from File.
I found documentation about leaving the password blank if using Active Directory. We don't use Active Directory but I tried leaving the password field blank. That didn't work. Do I need to enter a password even though we use OneLogin for authentication?
I don't have headers in the file. Here is a fake example of the data:
jdoe,,Jane Doe,Viewer,None,FALSE,jdoe@ourcompany.com
Thanks in advance!

Yes, a password is needed if you are using local identity store. So I guess, you are using local identity store (NOT AD, NOT LDAP), and that's why you need to insert a password. Why? Because if you deactivate SAML (Let's suppose the certificate expires, and you don't have the new certificate), then you can turn off, but your users would be able to login using the password you created.
If this post resolves the question, would you be so kind to "Select as Best"?. This will help other users find the same answer/resolution and help community keep track of answered questions. Thank you.
