Tableau Integration
Tableau is a powerful data visualization software used for creating interactive and shareable dashboards and reports. It allows users to connect to various data sources, visualize data in different formats, and share insights with others in an easy-to-understand manner.
How does this integration help Sprinto
The integration primarily helps Sprinto retrieve the user account details like user name, email address, role, etc. It helps Sprinto to map and check if the user with access offboards the organization. The org role information also helps Sprinto ensure only the configured valid roles access the system.
Sprinto checks for Tableau
Following are the available Sprinto checks for Tableau integration:
User should be identified
Tableau access should be removed for offboarded user
Critical system access control should be configured
User access to Critical System should be valid Note: The user access to the critical system becomes valid if the respective Org role is added to the system.
Before you begin
