Curator does track user dashboard visits; however, we'd recommend a more advanced system such as Google Analytics or Matomo, which are easy to set up in the backend of your Curator site.

Yes! We have documentation on Okta and OneLogin, but other SAML vendors are supported as well.

Yes, but with some stipulations!

Curator supports SAML and most SAML vendors support dual-factor authentication.
Check with your SAML vendor to determine if they support this functionality.
If you are using SAML and your SAML vendor supports dual-factor authentication, it can also be used in Curator.

Trusted tickets allow Curator to authenticate your users automatically in the Tableau Server environment. Setting up Trusted authentication requires a minor change on the configuration of Tableau Server. You can do this with tabadmin on the Tableau Server box.

First, collect the IP address(es) of your portal server. If you don't know this, ask your InterWorks Portal contact.

Next, connect to your Tableau Server box, open a command prompt and navigate to your Tableau Server "bin" directory. (i.e. C:\Program Files\Tableau\Tableau Server\<version>\bin)

Finally, run the following commands:

tsm authentication trusted configure -th <trusted IP address or host name>
                                        
tsm pending-changes apply

For more information, see Tableau's documentation.

First, make sure you completed the Trusted Ticket setup above!

If that doesn't work, your Tableau Server is not being accessed directly by Curator.

If you can route the REST API calls through internal routes, use the Alternative Server URL setup in Curator's Tableau Server Settings section to do so. (This allows you to route Portal server-side requests over one URL and client requests over another.)

If you can't route the REST API calls through a more direct route, you'll need to debug the IP address Tableau Server is seeing.

Next, connect to your Tableau Server box, open a command prompt and navigate to your Tableau Server "bin" directory. (for example, C:\Program Files\Tableau\Tableau Server\<version>\bin)

Next, run the following commands:

tsm stop
                                        
tsm configuration set -k backgrounder.native_api.log.level -v debug
                                        
tsm configuration set -k vizqlserver.log.level -v warn
                                        
tsm configuration set -k vizportal.log.level -v debug
                                        
tsm start

After the Tableau Server has restarted, hit a dashboard on Curator a few times. Note: You will still see an error! This is expected!

Finally, grab the logs and look for "Trusted" near the bottom of the file. It will list any missing IP Addresses requesting Trusted Tickets.

To easily collect your logs, use the following command and then look for vizql-*.log files:

tsm maintenance ziplogs C:\mylogs.zip

Definitely. We take your data security seriously, so we've provided built-in security that connects to your Tableau Server for each menu item. What does that mean exactly?

If the user doesn't have access to a dashboard on Tableau, they won't see it in the menu.

We've also got more options for customizing security on each of your dashboards. You can find more info on that in our documentation on our Resources page.
