Environment
- Tableau Online
- Initial SQL
- TableauServerUser variable
- Tableau Bridge
Resolution
As a possible workaround; if using a database hosted on a cloud platform, and the database connector is supported for direct connections in Tableau Online, enable direct external access to the database, whitelist the Tableau Online IP addresses and connect directly rather than through Tableau Bridge. See Keep Data Fresh and Tableau Online IP addresses for data provider authorization for more information.Cause
The ability to use initial sql impersonation with Tableau Bridge is not yet available.Thank you for providing your feedback on the effectiveness of the article.
