How to Find Tenant Name


A tenant in Tableau Cloud is the top-level administrative layer that holds all your sites, users, and licenses. Cloud administrators operate at this level using Tableau Cloud Manager (TCM).

To sign in to Tableau Cloud Manager REST API, you must know the name of the tenant that you want to access.

Find tenant name in TCM UI

The most direct way to find the tenant name is by signing into the TCM UI from the email invitation you received when you were initially added to TCM. If you don’t have the email invitation, you can follow the “Forgot URI” workflow.

Option 1: Sign in from email invitation

  1. Navigate to the TCM email invitation you received.
  2. In the email invitation, click the Sign In button.
  3. Follow the prompts to enter your password and complete the sign-in process. Note: Your sign-in experience depends on the authentication set up for TCM.

The tenant name is in the first portion of the URL after you’ve signed in to TCM. For example, if your tenant URL is https://mytenant.cloudmanager.tableau.com, the tenant name you use to sign in to TCM and in Tableau Cloud Manager REST API requests is mytenant.

Option 2: Sign in using “Forgot URI” workflow

  1. On the Tableau Cloud Manager sign-in page, enter your username (email address) and click the Sign In button. Note: The username you enter depends on the authentication set up for TCM.
  2. Click Forgot URI. This will prompt an email notification to be sent to you.
  3. Navigate to the email notification from Tableau and copy the verification code.
  4. Back on the Check your email page, paste the verification code you copied, and click the Verify button.
  5. On the Select where to sign in page, select the tenant and click the Sign In button. For example, select Cloud Manager: MyTenant.
  6. Follow the prompts to enter your password and complete the sign-in process. Note: Your sign-in experience depends on the authentication set up for TCM.

The tenant name is in first portion of the URL after you’ve signed in to TCM. For example, if your tenant URL is https://mytenant.cloudmanager.tableau.com, the tenant name you use to sign in to the Tableau Cloud Manager REST API is mytenant.
