Connect Tableau Next to ECA
Give ECA governed access to Tableau Next through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up
Add Tableau Next to ECA in four steps
Admins approve the server once. Everyone in ECA then gets it through the same governed connection.
- 1
Approve Tableau Next in Runlayer
Add Tableau Next from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.
- 2
Connect ECA to Runlayer
Users add the Runlayer Plugin to ECA by following Runlayer’s setup guide. ECA reaches Tableau Next’s tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.
ECA setup guide - 3
Sign in to Tableau Next
Each user signs in to Tableau Next with OAuth. Runlayer keeps the tokens out of the client’s configuration.
- 4
Use Tableau Next from ECA
Tableau Next’s approved tools appear in ECA. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.
Tools
Tableau Next tools in ECA
Tableau Next reports its tools when your organization connects it, so the list depends on your deployment.
Control
What Runlayer can see and stop in ECA
Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what ECA exposes to Runlayer.
Gateway policy (available)
Every Tableau Next call from ECA passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.
Audit trail (available)
Each call is recorded with the user, ECA as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.
Native enforcement adapter (not available)
Runlayer has no device-side adapter for ECA yet, so control happens at the gateway.
