    As far as I know there is no way to hide this info, but here are some indirect workarounds (both with limitations) if there's no way around your company's policy.

     

    In order of ascending pain-factor.....

     

    1. Point all your workbooks (where you want to hide the connection info) to published data sources - then move these data sources to another project and set the permissions such that the users can't access this project. This will result in the users still being able to view the workbooks, but not the published data source connection info

     

    2. Use Tableau SDK/Extract API to create extract files from your DB outside Tableau and then publish them up......that way they will not contain any connection lineage info
