Secure Your Tableau Accelerator
Allowed Functionality
Use only built-in Tableau functionality in your Accelerator. Don’t use dashboard extensions, third-party connectors from the Tableau Exchange, external first- or third-party code, or connections to external servers.
Links and URL Actions
Don’t include URL actions or external links in your Accelerator.
Sample Data Origin
Tableau Accelerators rely on sample data to populate the dashboards before users connect their own data. Either create this sample data yourself, or obtain the right to use and distribute the sample data so that the source can be attributed in your Accelerator listing.
De-Identified Data
The data for your Accelerator must be de-identified. It can’t contain personally identifiable information, such as the names of real businesses or business entities. You don’t want users to be able to draw any real-world conclusions from the names or places in your dataset.
Data Packaging
Create a flat extract of all sample data, and package it as part of the TWBX workbook file for your Accelerator. Before you package the data, hide unused fields. Don’t include live queries, even to flat files. Don’t implement custom cryptography.
Data Source Credentials
Validate data source connections to cloud-based data, and remove credentials for cloud-based data source connections from your Accelerator. Users must enter their own credentials to connect to data.
