Errors

Add Default Database Permissions

Adds default permission capabilities to a user or group for table resources in that database. These 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 the Add 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 or Locked 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 or Managed 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.

When more than one asset appears in the request (the contentList element contains more than one content element), this method will fail if an error is encountered operating on any of them. For example, if you are getting labels for a database and a table, but you provide the wrong table LUID, the method will return an error even if the database LUID was correct.

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

The contentAction element is optional.

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

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

Attribute Values

Permissions

If you are moving a database without its tables, you must have read and changeHierarchy permissions for the database, and write permission for the target project.

If you are moving both a database and its tables, you must have read and changeHierarchy permissions for both the database and its tables, and write permission for the target project.

Note: Currently, you can only set the ChangeHierarchy permission for databases and tables using the REST API. See Add Database Permissions and Add 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. See Set 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. See Set permissions on individual external assets(Link opens in a new window) for information on these rules.

Errors

Update Label

Updates a label by its LUID. This method can update the label value, message, active flag, and elevated flag.

You can't update the label category. If you set the label value to one that's in a different category, you get an error. See Data Labels for information on label categories and values.

You can't update extract refresh or flow run monitoring warnings (the extract_refresh_failure and flow_run_failure label values) using this method because those warnings are set and cleared automatically, depending on their triggers. See also "How to set a monitoring quality warning" in the Tableau Server(Link opens in a new window) and Tableau Cloud(Link opens in a new window) Help and the quality warning trigger methods in Metadata Methods.

All label operations except those related to the certification of data sources require Catalog to be enabled. Catalog requires a Data Management license.

Permissions

• To create or update a warning label, you must have Write permission on the associated asset.
• To create or update a certification label for an asset in a project, you must be a Tableau Server site or server admin, a Tableau Cloud site admin, a project leader for the project the asset is in, or the project owner for the project the asset is in.
• To create or update a certification label for an asset not in a project, you must have the ChangePermissions permission on the associated asset.

Errors

Update Labels on Assets

Creates or updates labels on one or more assets. (An asset can be Tableau content or an external asset.) Each asset listed in the request body is updated to have a label with the specified value, message, active flag, and elevated flag. Assets without an existing label of the corresponding category will have a new label created. Assets that already have a label of the same category will have the label updated.

Note that the label category is not an attribute in the request body, because you do not set it explicitly. Instead you implicitly set the category by using the label value. For example, choosing a label value of stale means that the label category will be warning. Also, you can't update the label category on an existing label. If you set the label value to one that's in a different category, you get an error. See Data Labels for information on label categories and values.

You can't update extract refresh or flow run monitoring warnings (the extract_refresh_failure and flow_run_failure label values) using this method because those warnings are set and cleared automatically, depending on their triggers. See also "How to set a monitoring quality warning" in the Tableau Server(Link opens in a new window) and Tableau Cloud(Link opens in a new window) Help and the quality warning trigger methods in Metadata Methods.

All label operations except those related to the certification of data sources require Catalog to be enabled. Catalog requires a Data Management license.

Errors

When more than one asset appears in the request (the contentList element contains more than one content element), this method will fail if an error is encountered operating on any of them. For example, if you are updating labels for a database and a table, but you provide the wrong table LUID, the method will return an error even if the database LUID was correct.
