Dashboard Extensions Settings Methods

Enable and configure security for dashboard extensions on sites and, for on premise installations, on servers. With these extensions you can add custom features to a dashboard using JavaScript.

Using the extension methods of the Tableau Server REST API you can:

  • List the settings for extensions of a server or site
  • Enable or disable extensions or sandboxed extensions for a server or site
  • List, get, create, and delete entries in server blocked extensions list
  • List, get, create, update, and delete entries in server allowed (safe) extensions list

This functionality relates to the UI elements and concepts described at Manage Dashboard Settings.
