Tableau Cloud Help

If your organization uses Google, you can enable Tableau Cloud to use Google accounts for single sign-on (SSO) with multi-factor authentication (MFA) using OpenID Connect. Tableau Cloud supports Google authentication as an authentication type. When you enable Google authentication, users are directed to the Google sign-in page to enter their credentials, which are stored and managed by Google.

Configure authentication type

If your organization already uses Google, then set the authentication type to Google in Tableau Cloud.

1. Sign in to Tableau Cloud as a site admin.

2. Select Settings > Authentication, click the New Configuration button, and select Google from the Authentication drop-down.

   Note: If Google is not on the list of available options, then Google authentication is already enabled for your site.

3. Enter a name for the configuration, and click Save Changes.

   

   Note: Configurations created before November 2024 (Tableau 2024.3) can't be renamed.

4. Add new users (or update any previous users) to use Google as their configured authentication type.

   • To add users, see Add Users to a Site.

   • To update a user's authentication method, see Set the User Authentication Type.
