Personal access token authentication and new integration task schedule for Tableau Online

Note:This enhancement is available for SaaS Management.

Integrating Flexera One’s SaaS Management with Tableau Online now requires using a personal access token (PAT). To implement the Tableau personal access token authentication, there is a limit of one personal access token per concurrent request. For details, see the note within the Tableau Cloud Help topic Understand Personal Access Tokens. Due to this limitation, the SaaS Management integration with Tableau Online requires this new integration task schedule:

•

License Information integration task will run at 5 AM UTC.

•

Application Roster integration task will run at 6 AM UTC.

•

Application Access integration task will run at 11 AM UTC.

Existing SaaS Management integrations with Tableau Online will fail because the authentication method has been updated from OAuth to personal access token authentication. To resolve this issue, you need to reauthorize the integration by generating a new personal access token as described inthe “Integrating Tableau Online With SaaS Management” section of the Tableau Online integration instructions. See also the following Best Practice for implementation details.

For new SaaS Management integrations with Tableau Online, the integration tasks are not run instantly. After the integration is authorized, the integration tasks are run per the above schedule.
