# Authenticate on the Tableau Server.
tableau <- authenticate_server(
server = "https://tableau.server.com",
username = "your_username",
password = "your_password"
)
The vvtableau
package provides a set of functions to
interact with Tableau Server, allowing you to automate various user
management tasks. This vignette will focus on how to use the package to
identify and notify administrators about inactive Tableau users.
To identify inactive Tableau users, we’ll use the
get_server_users()
function to retrieve a list of all users
on the Tableau Server, and then filter out those who have not logged in
for a specified period of time.
# Retrieve all users from Tableau Server
all_users <- get_server_users(tableau, page_size = 300, page_number = 1)
# Filter out inactive users
inactive_users <- all_users %>%
mutate(last_login = as.Date(last_login)) %>%
filter(!name %in% protected_users$user_id,
site_role == "Viewer") %>%
arrange(desc(last_login)) %>%
unique(by = "name") %>%
filter(last_login < (Sys.Date() - lubridate::years(1) - lubridate::months(6)) | is.na(last_login)) %>%
filter(!is.na(last_login)) %>%
select(full_name, name, last_login)
In this example, we:
get_server_users()
function.Once you have the list of inactive users, you can use your preferred method to notify the administrators. This could be sending an email, posting a message in a chat channel, or any other communication method. Here’s an example of how you could send a message to a Slack channel:
library(slackr)
## Assuming you have authenticated with Slack using slackr_setup() and have access to the channel.
slackr::slackr(channel = "#tableau-notifications",
text = "The following users have not logged in to Tableau Server for more than 1.5 years:")
slackr::slackr_table(inactive_users,
channel = "#tableau-notifications",
quote = FALSE)
This code will send a message to the
#tableau-notifications
Slack channel, followed by a table
of the inactive users.
The vvtableau
package provides a convenient way to
automate the process of identifying inactive Tableau users and notifying
the appropriate administrators. By using this package, you can ensure
that your Tableau Server is being used effectively and that inactive
accounts are properly managed.
