Where to Find Tableau Cloud Credentials

1. Tableau Server URL

Your Tableau Server URL is your Tableau Cloud site URL.

Example:

https://us-east-1.online.tableau.com

You can find this by logging into Tableau Cloud and copying the base URL from your browser.

2. Tableau Site ID

The Site ID is the portion after /site/ in your Tableau Cloud URL.

Example:

https://us-east-1.online.tableau.com/#/site/mysite/home

In this example:

mysite

is the Site ID.

If you need the Site LUID, you can find it from any workbook, flow, or datasource in Tableau Cloud.

Click Share, and you will see an option to copy the Site ID, which gives you the LUID.

3. Personal Access Token (PAT)

To create a PAT:

  1. Log into Tableau Cloud
  2. Click your profile icon (top right)
  3. Go to My Account Settings
  4. Under Personal Access Tokens, click Create New Token
  5. Save:
    • PAT Name
    • PAT Secret

Important: the PAT secret is only shown once when created.

4. Tableau Project LUID

  1. Log into Tableau Cloud
  2. (If needed) Create a project
  3. Make sure the project contains at least one workbook (You can create a simple/empty workbook if needed)
  4. Go to External Assets
  5. Open Query Metadata (GraphiQL Explorer) - At the top right of your screen under your profile
  6. Run this query:
query {  workbooks {    projectLuid    projectName  }}
  1. From the output, find your project by name and copy the projectLuid
