# Tableau

Seemore natively supports Tableau server and Tableau online, which allows you to seamlessly integrate your Tableau with your Seemore workspace.

{% endhint %}

### Enable the Tableau Metadata API <a href="#enable-the-tableau-metadata-api-0-0" id="enable-the-tableau-metadata-api-0-0"></a>

To enable the Tableau Metadata API follow the [steps in Tableau's documentation](https://help.tableau.com/current/api/metadata_api/en-us/docs/meta_api_start.html#enable-the-tableau-metadata-api-for-tableau-server).

🚨 **Careful!** Seemore needs the Tableau Metadata API to crawl metadata. Please ensure you are running the latest version of Tableau Server or Tableau Online (2022.x with REST API version 3.14+). Learn more about the [permissions](https://help.tableau.com/current/api/metadata_api/en-us/docs/meta_api_permissions.html) used to access metadata through the Tableau Metadata API.

In order to integrate Seemore with Tableau you will need to create a user or send an existing one.

If you create a user, a confirmation email will be sent.\
To create a user:

The required details for this integration are:

* Username - The user's email
* Password - The user's password
* Server - The account server, for example:

Here, the server is “dub01.online.tableau.com”.

* apiVersion - tableau API version, put 3.4 if not specified

Add the 'site administrator creator' or '*Site Administrator Explorer*' role to the user and then grant the '*Site Administrator Explorer'* permission to the relevant assets.

### (Optional) Create a personal access token <a href="#optional-create-a-personal-access-token-0-4" id="optional-create-a-personal-access-token-0-4"></a>

If you want to access Tableau using an access token instead of a username and password, you can generate a personal access token.

To generate a personal access token follow the [steps in Tableau's documentation](https://help.tableau.com/current/server/en-us/security_personal_access_tokens.htm).
