Authentication / account requirement for Tableau JS-API


I am working on web application for visualization and learning feasibility of using JSAPI in application to pull in reports from tableau.

My understanding on topic is limited from online reads of dev doc and demo. - Author creates reports, dashboards, workbooks on tableau desktop/server and publishes it on tableau server. - Tableau server will require a license for author personnel account. - Web application can use JSAPI to access those reports, workbooks or dashboards.

Is my understanding correct?

Does does every user of web application needs separate credentials to view reports on app?


Solution

  • You can use a single account for accessing reports in your web application as long as you do not want to have some specific reports for particular users.
