2 years ago Hi @alitwaij this change was made to avoid errors related to Tableau's REST API failing to support the _all_ fields parameter for an increasing number of endpoints. It began with the endpoints related to views and has recently impacted the projects endpoints as well.
For now the relevant users endpoint supports the field, so if you run pip install -U tableau-api-lib then you will once again be getting the information you expect when running the same code as before. However, if at any point in the future you begin to get errors when using the get_users_dataframe function, be aware that you can now pass in a parameter "all_fields". If you begin to get errors in the future then the issue impacting other endpoints may be impacting the "Query Users on Site" endpoint.
If that scenario above happens then it means that until Tableau fixes the issue impacting these endpoints, you will need to query the _default_ fields instead of _all_ fields. You can do this in the following way:
users_df = querying.get_users_dataframe(conn, all_fields=False)
Let me know if all is working as expected for you! Sorry for the inconvenience that caused.
