[@ankitagupta6134]

Very nice point to point video

[@pjanalytics]

Thank you

[@TravisTraps]

This was massive! I liked this approach way more than using joins, entitlement tables, and other methods of RBS. Very quick and easy, you the man, Pj!

[@pjanalytics]

Thanks . but yes there are some other ways to implement it that's depends on scenarios

[@mohanpuri9917]

Very good and simple explanation. Short video and with focused content.

Really nice 😍😍😍😍😍 I was asked row level security question in Birla Soft interview & I couldn't answer it as I had never published a dashboard. 🤐 we work on tableau desktop only.

@PJ Analytics: Informative ! But I have one question: Suppose User1 in a company is currently able to see Canada data but then that User1 has joined a different team in a company due to which he is now only supposed to see UK data. So can tableau handle this scenario in an automated way? Or we need to manually update this 'Create User Filter' every time a User changes the team? If yes then it is a big issue and re-org happens in a company all the tie and Auditing is cumbersome !!

[@pjanalytics]

Hey In case of user filter then yes you have to map it again . Basically there are multiple ways to implement RLS, so we have to understand the scenario and accordingly implement. When we have limited user the. User filter approach is good

[@BhuvaneshSrivastava]

@@pjanalytics : But if there are thousands of users in a company which keeps on changing the department (and hence the RLS) then in that case how can we tackle it in an automated manner ?

[@pjanalytics]

@@BhuvaneshSrivastava In that case you can maintain a table in Database that table should be update when any changes happened at department level. You can fetch the user detail from this table in Tableau.

[@BhuvaneshSrivastava]

@@pjanalytics : Thanks.. so after fetching user details from table into tableau we can ask tableau to create a 'user filter' in an automated fashion?

[@jeffreypeterson5909]

Hi PJ, good video! I have a question - when someone first opens the dashboard, will it load all data in the background, THEN filter it to via the user filter? Or will it load ONLY the data from that user filter? I am asking because of performance - if we have one dashboard for lots of different countries, and someone from a specific country opens it, will it load all data, then filter? Or only load their country's data?

[@pjanalytics]

Very good points.. But you can observer data is restriction at sheet level not at data source level. If you want to restrict the data at Data source level then you can think about join. Let me know if you need details

Hey good yaa

Thanks

Thank you!

[@chipmunkrulzz]

Hey PJ, nice video! What if I have to restrict the data based on 'user groups' set up in tableau online? Is there a way to map the groups to a column instead of each user?

[@pjanalytics]

Thanks, Yes we can create a group on server and map that in calculation to restrict the data. This approach we implement when we have to restrict data on multiple columns.

[@chipmunkrulzz]

@@pjanalytics, thanks for the quick reply! Will any future videos be covering this?

[@pjanalytics]

@@chipmunkrulzz Yes.. we will cover that as well

[@shubhamawale4881]

We are going to work on a project, but I am confused that the mail id of the licenses I going to purchase should be my organization or client organization because I need to deliver in the end, Can you please help me out?

[@anjalidaniel4912]

I have two dashboards in a workbook., a group overview, and details about those group. I have implemented row level security (a simple username = userID) to filter what data everyone can see. Is there a way to completely hide the first dashboard if they don't have full access? Essentially only execs will want to see the first dashboard, and everyone else just needs to see the details of one specific group on the second dashboard. I would like for them not to even see the first one. Is this possible?

[@pjanalytics]

Hey Anjali, Manually we can remove the acess of specific dashboard of specific user

[@kartikeyatiwari6678]

Anjali You can print message of No access in Landing page to if user have no access of data , on that case user would ableist see your opened dashboard . Dynamic Dashboard or sheet hiding feature is still not available . If you found any work around share with all .

[@RevanTadikonda]

Could you confirm if we can we achieve this using tableau online/web version please?

[@pjanalytics]

Web version is not designed for that purpose.

[@balajeer4432]

My scenario is like it has been implemented in our application by so how can i restrict this scenario

[@pjanalytics]

You can restrict at workbook level

[@balajeer4432]

@@pjanalytics how?

[@sahiladya8473]

How to test access for an user on tableau server?

[@pjanalytics]

You can check directly on server

Pro tip: watch this at 2x speed by going to playback settings as the dude in the video didn't have his coffee before hitting the record button 🤣

He is educating you for free and your are giving unnecessary judgmental comments over his phase of teaching, people like me who's native language is not an English's are more comfortable in slow phase of English's rather cricket commentary. Hope you regret on your comment.
