Tableau Server & Cloud Admin User Group

Tableau Server & Cloud Administration User Group

Welcome to the Tableau Server & Cloud Administration TUG! This group is organized by and for Tableau administrators, platform managers, and anyone responsible for keeping Tableau environments running smoothly. We meet virtually with a focus on solving real-world deployment, security, and scaling challenges through peer-to-peer knowledge sharing.
Whether you're managing a single-node Tableau Server, a multi-node enterprise deployment, or a Tableau Cloud site, you'll find practical insights in every session. Topics include:

• Site and project governance strategies

• User provisioning, authentication (SAML, OIDC, Kerberos), and group management

• Performance tuning, backgrounder optimization, and capacity planning

• Upgrades, migrations, and Server-to-Cloud transitions

• Monitoring with Admin Insights, Resource Monitoring Tool, and custom solutions

• REST API and tabcmd automation

• Data governance, permissions models, and certified data sources

• Disaster recovery and backup strategies

If you're a Site Admin, Server Admin, Cloud Admin, or BI platform owner—or you're just getting started with Tableau administration—this is your community. Come share war stories, learn from others who've tackled similar challenges, and stay current on product changes that affect your environment.
