Tableau Server Extracts issue

Question

A developer had created dashboard and successfully published to tableau server for auto refresh extract every day, Developer had data and DB access at that time. Now the same developer's access for DB is removed, is it possible to get fresh data to reports everyday? will the extract have new data everyday ?

Answer 1

Not unless you update the database credentials published with the data source to be something that the database accepts

You typically want some sort of service account for this purpose - so that the published dashboards still work when the original publisher leaves
