New Connection Manager Data Source: Tableau

We now support metadata collection from Tableau via Connection Manager. Previously, users were able to collect metadata via the data.world Collector, but now users can perform this task in-app.

Both Tableau Online and Tableau Server are supported, as well as the following connection types: Direct connection (inbound), SSH tunnel (inbound, preferred).

For more information, refer to the documentation here.

Members default access now configurable

Big news today! 🎉

You asked and we listened. Admin users now have the ability to change the default access of the Members of their organization.

You can find this new feature on the Members tab in the section titled Default access for all members.

Members is the special out-of-the-box group that automatically includes all members in an organization and determines the minimum level of access for all members in the organization. Please read more about this setting in our Docs Portal.

With our latest release, users are now able to bookmark even more things. Just click on the bookmark icon from search results on the Resources tab or directly on the detail page to create bookmarks for your metadata resources, insights, collections, datasets, projects and more.

As you click on the bookmark you'll see how many other people have bookmarked the page. Find the full list of your bookmarks on your bookmark page and your latest additions on your personal Action Center home page.

Metrics for Suggested Changes Workflow


We’ve enriched our suite of metrics with the ability to monitor and govern all change requests submitted and approved/denied to your catalog resources via the UI.

With suggest changes metrics, you can monitor the following:

  • All approvals/denials to any ‘suggest change’ request submitted to your catalog resources. 
  • All pending ‘suggest change’ requests (neither approved nor denied) 
  • An activity receipt on all catalog resources (highlighting the number of edits, deletes, creations, views, and changes submitted on any resource).

PRO TIP: Query these tables in our built in query workbench for powerful insights, such as filtering by a specific type of resource, the responder or requestor, or by a particular date range. This short video highlights some key use cases:

This enhancement to our metrics suite allows governance teams to quickly find a list of all change submissions which haven’t been acted upon, or monitor the changes to your catalog resources made via the UI. 

Tables added/updated:

  1. Events - Catalog Resources Approved Or Denied Suggestions - By Day
  2. Events - Catalog Resources Pending Suggestions - By Day
  3. Events - Catalog Resources Pages Activity - By Day

User Groups for Organizations

We're excited to announce that we've released a significant new feature to give organizations more flexibility in managing members and permissions through User Groups.

With groups, you can:

  • Create new custom groups to independently manage people, data, and metadata on the platform much more easily.
  • Grant groups access to organization-owned datasets and projects.
  • Manage different levels of access to all metadata catalog resources via groups.
  • Have different access levels for people responsible for catalog configuration and for catalog curation.

This feature has changed how new users are added to organizations on the platform. This short video highlights the changes.
