Tableau 2024.3

Tableau Cloud Manager

Tableau Cloud Manager allows admins to create and manage multiple Tableau sites in the regions of their choice. Admins can manage licences and users across sites without having to license a single user multiple times. This simplifies the expansion and management of their cloud analytics environment while helping ensure they meet data residency requirements and maintain governance.

Note: This feature will be deployed in waves. Admins will receive an email two weeks before this feature is deployed to their site.

Evolve from legacy reporting to visual analytics while meeting your users' current needs. Now, you can add detail tables and grid views to dashboards for users who prefer traditional reporting views.

This authenticator provides better control over access and credential rotation.

External identity provider for Snowflake

Integrate Tableau and Snowflake with your existing identity provider and security policies. Ensure trust by configuring your identity provider for the relevant Tableau clients, and create and deploy OAuth configuration files.
