Embed a Tableau Workbook from a USGS Server into a Web Page #412

Open abriggs-usgs opened 4 years ago

abriggs-usgs commented 4 years ago

Using the npm package for the Tableau Embed API, we were able to embed a Tableau worksheet from Tableau Public into a web page. However, attempting to embed the sample workbook Megan created on the USGS Tableau server hit a block from a CORS or similar issue. If we want to use content from the USGS Tableau server we need to find a solution.

Capturing this for future discussion.. will the dashboard be public facing or internal only? will something hosted in s3 be able to "see" the internal tableau server?

I think we would want the dashboard to be internal only, so accessible to anyone on network.

Relatedly, anyone on network would be able to see the dashboard regardless of whether they have a Tableau license or not, correct?

Re: things in S3 being able to see the internal server: I would assume yes, as long as the person is on network. The actual embedded content would be requested from a user's browser to the tableau server, I think? Would be worth confirming before we get far along though for sure.

Seems like we are leaning toward using Tableau Server with USGS internal access. So I am going to bump this to backlog, until we can confirm our direction during planning.
