Logging In

In most cases you must have an account on Tableau Server to both publish and browse. Additionally, you must be assigned a Viewer or Interactor license level. User accounts are set up by an administrator. They are either based on your Windows user account, using Active Directory, or the Tableau Server internal user management system. Contact your administrator if you do not know your user name or password.

 

Sometimes, depending on how the server is configured, you will be automatically logged in. If you are automatically logged in as the wrong person, you can switch to your account by clicking Switch User at the top of the page. Then you can type your own user name and password, or re-log in using your Windows logon information.

If you are asked to log in, type your user name and password into the appropriate text boxes and then click Log In.

Remembering your User Name

Checking the box next to Remember me on this computer on the Tableau Server login page will automatically fill in your user name every time you visit the server. This option makes it easier for you to quickly access your account. You will still need to type your password on each visit in order to log in. When you check the box and log in, Tableau Server sets a cookie to remember you when you return to the site from the same computer. To stop automatically filling in your user name, clear your browser cookies.
