Tableau | Analytics | Tool strategy Personal Access Tokens have a new management feature in Tableau 23-2. #tableau #analytics #data
Personal access tokens just got a lot more manageable in Tableau 23.2.
- Personal access tokens replace your username and password with a token plus a secret, offering a more secure way to authenticate against the Tableau REST API
- In Tableau 23.2, admins can control which groups are allowed to create personal access tokens
- Admins can now set an expiration date for each individual token created
With this update, Site admins can now control who has the ability to create PATs (Personal access tokens) in Tableau, and they can now control how long PATs are valid, ranging from 1 to 365 days.
A Personal Access Token (PAT) is a type of authentication token that acts as an alternative to a traditional username and password for accessing specific services, especially web-based APIs.
