Fix for a workbook that is supposed to be working for a “guest”
Problem is likely because “guest” users are not allowed to have the “Connect” permission for Tableau datasources.
Fix: Publish the desired workbook with the password embedded.
-
Open Tableau Desktop
-
Find the workbook.
-
Start the the Publish process,
-
click on the edit button for the data sources
-
Change the Authentication option to “Embedded password”.
-
Complete the publishing process.
If “Guest” user has been granted permissions to the project and workbook in question the “guest” should now have access.
