Analyze Tableau Dashboard Usage and Report Access Anomalies via Email

BI and data governance teams need visibility into who is accessing sensitive Tableau dashboards and whether permissions are correctly scoped. This workflow audits Tableau workbook permissions, identifies users with access beyond their role, and sends a summary report to the data governance team via Outlook.

How the workflow runs

The scenario uses specific integration tools at each step, while Metorial keeps access scoped and visible.

  1. 1

    List all Tableau workbooks

    Retrieve the full list of workbooks on the Tableau site to build a complete scope for the permission audit.

    • tableau:list_workbooks
  2. 2

    Retrieve site and user role context

    Get Tableau site configuration and list all users with their assigned site roles to establish the baseline access model.

    • tableau:get_site_info
    • tableau:manage_users
  3. 3

    Audit permissions on sensitive workbooks

    Query current permissions for each workbook, focusing on those tagged as sensitive or containing financial or client data.

    • tableau:manage_permissions
  4. 4

    Identify access anomalies

    Cross-reference user permissions against their site roles to flag users with access that exceeds their role level or who should no longer have access.

  5. 5

    Send the governance report via email

    Compose and send a structured access audit report to the data governance team via Outlook, listing flagged anomalies and recommended permission changes.
