Data streams

This Provider Plugin defines 19 data streams.

Source permissions

When your Workspace enforces source permissions, each member reads only the Tableau rows that their Tableau user can open. Parable matches a member to a Tableau user by email. Only a user with a licensed site role (Creator, Explorer, Explorer (can publish), Viewer, a site administrator role, or a server administrator) gives access. An Unlicensed user, a guest, or a user whose site role Tableau leaves out gives no access.Parable does not read Tableau’s permission rules for projects, data sources and flows yet. Until it does, a user who can open one of them in Tableau through a rule, and does not own it, does not read it in Parable. A view of a workbook with hidden tabs follows its workbook, even when Tableau gives the view its own rules.user_workbooks sends at least one request for each licensed user on each sync. Use a site administrator credential, so that Tableau returns the list for every user.
