AI-generatedSummary
Updates a Tableau user identified by ID, sending the supplied fields from Update Fields. Choose an authentication method and optionally impersonate a user when using Connected App authentication.
Inputs
- authentication — Choose Connected App (JWT, the default) or Personal Access Token.
- impersonateUsername — With Connected App authentication, optionally authenticate as this Tableau user; requires site administrator privileges. Leave blank to use the credential's default username.
- userId (required) — ID of the Tableau user to update.
- updateFields — Fields to update: authentication setting, email, full name, password, or site role. Password changes apply only to Tableau Server with local authentication. The collection defaults to empty.
Output shape
A single item containing the updated user data.
The supplied source pack omits the implementation body for this operation, so the precise runtime response shape could not be verified.
Examples
Example 1: Change a user's email and role
Set User ID to the target user's ID, then add Email and Site Role in Update Fields.
