Issue
Showing or hiding tabs on a workbook might have unexpected permissions.
Showing and hiding sheet tabs (turning tabbed views on or off) for published content refers to navigation in a published workbook. When sheet tabs are shown, published content has navigational sheet tabs along the top of each view.
Environment
- Tableau Server
- Published Workbook
Cause
- When tabs are displayed all the views in inherit permissions from the workbook.
- When tabs are hidden permissions for each view are independent of the workbook.
Resolution
Changing the configuration of sheets as tabs on a published workbook will also impact the permission model. Show Tabs will override any existing view-level permissions and reinstate the workbook-level permissions for all views. Hide Tabs will break the relationship between the workbook and its views.
- To configure sheets as tabs on a published workbook, open the Actions menu (...) for the workbook and select Tabbed Views. Choose Show Tabs or Hide Tabs as desired.
- To configure sheets as tabs during publishing, refer to Show sheets as tabs(Link opens in a new window).
- To set view-level permissions, see Set permissions on content.

Important: In a customizable project, any modifications to the workbook-level permissions will not be applied if navigational sheet tabs are hidden (aka tabbed views are off). Changes to permissions must be made on individual views. |
