Tableau Server on Linux Help

Use the tsm login command to log in to Tableau Services Manager from a remote node.

If the account you are logged in as is a member of the TSM-authorized group, you do not need to provide credentials to run commands when running tsm CLI locally. For more information, see Authenticating with tsm CLI.
