ROW LEVEL SECURITY IN TABLEAU

Data security is the main priority for organizations of every size and genre. In simple terms, we can say it’s a practice of keeping data protected from corruption and unauthorized access. The main focus of every organization is to ensure privacy while protecting personal or corporate data.The first step in protecting your enterprise’s data privacy and security is to identify the types of information/data you want to protect and where that information is exposed in your organization. For example — If you have a Tableau dashboard which contain number of Tableau workbooks managed by individual users in various departments and they, in-turn, share workbooks between each other in a small group, we need to create high-end security for each department and for each user based on their role. These days’ security needs are more volatile — almost every day new users get added frequently, user privileges changes, organization structure changes, etc. We need to define “something” dynamic (Row Level Security) inside tableau which can support both users with security constraints and users without security constraints.Row Level Security is User-Based Automatic Data Filtering. When a user views a Workbook or Data Source in Tableau Desktop or Server, they only see the rows of data they are entitled to.

We can achieve something similar if we can implement Row Level Security in tableau.Row Level security is…
