Tableau

Introduction

The Data Access Management (DAM) feature provides a structured, catalog-like view of users, roles, and group permissions across various data objects. This enables administrators or source system owners to gain clear visibility into access rights and manage permissions effectively.

This section describes how Data Access Management works for Tableau, detailing how organizations can sync and explore metadata, examine permissions assigned to users, roles, and groups, and capture audit logs of all crawled entries.

For more details, refer to the Data Access Management - DDA.

DAM functionality may vary depending on the capabilities of the source system.
