Add Default Database Permissions

Adds default permission capabilities to a user or group for table resources in that database.

Default permissions function as a permissions template for the database's table assets.

Note: If a database is in a project, default database permissions are not evaluated to determine table permissions. Use theAdd Default Permissions method to control default permission capabilities on tables through projects instead.

How default permissions are enforced depends on whether the database is locked or unlocked.

• Locked to the database: If the permissions on a database are locked orLocked to the database, existing child table assets and new child table assets that get indexed by Catalog will inherit the default permissions applied to the parent database asset.Note: If the database is locked, explicit permissions cannot be made for individual tables.

• Managed by the owner: If the permissions on a database are unlocked orManaged by the owner, only new child table assets that get indexed by Catalog will inherit the default permissions applied to the parent database asset.Note: If the database is unlocked, explicit permissions for the table can be made in a separate request.

This method is available if your Tableau Cloud site or Tableau Server is licensed with Data Management.

Delete labelValue

Deletes a label value.

If you use this method on a built-in label value that was customized, this method reverts the label to its built-in defaults instead of deleting it. (Afterwards, assets with the label that you reverted will reflect the built-in default.)

Note that a label value (labelValue) is one property of a label. A label value has its own properties like name, category, and description that determine label behavior and options that users see in label dialogs. For more information on data label objects and properties, see theData Labels in the REST API(Link opens in a new window) topic.

Lists all label values on the site.

You can optionally limit the list of returned data label values using a query string in the URI.

Note that a label value (labelValue) is one property of a label. A label value has its own properties like name, category, and description that determine label behavior and options that users see in label dialogs. For more information on data label objects and properties, see theData Labels in the REST API(Link opens in a new window) topic.

AData Management license is not required to create, update, or delete label values, but one is required to create, update, delete, and see labels on assets.

List Label Categories on Site

Note that category is one property of a label value (labelValue), which is itself a property of a label on an asset. Other properties of a labelValue include name and description. These properties determine label behavior and options that users see in label dialogs.

Move Database

Move one or more databases to a project.

You can move the database and its tables, or move only the database. To move a table independently of its database, use theMove Table method.

Note: Starting in Tableau Cloud June 2022 and Tableau Server 2022.3, projects can contain databases and tables, and database and table permissions can be managed at the project level through inheritance. In Tableau Cloud March 2022 and Tableau Server 2022.1 and earlier, projects couldn't contain databases or tables.

The Move Database method can either:

• Move a database from one project to another project.
• Move a database not in a project to a project.

This method can't remove a database from all projects. (The only way to remove a database from all projects is to delete the project that the database is in.)

This method is available if your Tableau Cloud site or Tableau Server is licensed with Data Management.

URI

POST api/api-version/sites/site-luid/databases

Parameter Values

Request Body

<tsRequest>  <contentLocationRequest>    <location type="location-type" />    <contentAction action="action-type" />    <resourceList>      <resource contentType="asset-type"/>      <!-- ... more database resources ... -->    </resourceList>  </contentLocationRequest></tsRequest>

ThecontentAction element is optional.

• If thecontentAction element is not included, moving the database will also move its tables.
• If thecontentAction element is included and the action attribute is set toMoveDatabaseOnly, moving the database will not move its tables.

TheresourceList element can contain a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 1000resource elements.

Attribute Values

Permissions

If you are moving a databasewithout its tables, you must haveread andchangeHierarchy permissions for the database, andwrite permission for the target project.

If you are moving both a database and its tables, you must haveread andchangeHierarchy permissions for both the database and its tables, andwrite permission for the target project.

Note: Currently, you can only set theChangeHierarchy permission for databases and tables using the REST API. SeeAdd Database Permissions andAdd Table Permissions for information on adding this permission.

Setting the required database and table permissions depends on whether the database is in a project or not.

• If the database is in a project, the database and table permissions will follow the rules for permissions on content inside of projects. SeeSet Permissions(Link opens in a new window) for information on these rules.
• If the database is not in a project, the database and table permissions will follow the rules for permissions on external assets. SeeSet permissions on individual external assets(Link opens in a new window) for information on these rules.
