Poof! Go the Permissions

Permissions continue to present mysteries and surprises. I recently came across this interesting situation: in the process of configuring the Project Permissions for a particular group it up and disappeared from the Permissions page.

The Tableau Public workbook below shows what happened. Follow the dashboards #1-#4.

    Chris,

    Hi Keith,
    In fact, I've only seen this in private (non-Public) Tableau Server installations. Not having admin access to Tableau Public I can't say whether it happens there.

    Even I face the same issue with our Tableau server. When I set a permission @ Project or @ Workbook level, it gets disappeared. Also, the other weird thing is that the permissions are reset at some point ..... :(

    did any one faced this issue.?
