Issue
Unable to display images with the URL target that requires authentication such as Salesforce, SharePoint, etc with Image role on Tableau Desktop.
Last Modified Date: 27 Jun 2023
Environment
- Tableau Desktop
Resolution
Workaround
Publish the workbook to Tableau Cloud or Tableau Server and view the workbook on a browser.If you are viewing it in a browser that is already logged into a service that requires authentication, you can view it because access to the URL is processed through the browser.
Note: *Client-Side Rendering required.
Cause
Tableau must be able to access the images with the URL target without authentication. Authentication is not supported.Additional Information
When exporting pdf or image, Tableau Cloud and Tableau Server can not include images requiring authentication because all exports and export-related features are processed with server-side rendering.Add Web Images Dynamically to Worksheets
