Recently I helped one client to connect his Tableau Cloud to SharePoint, so let me share how it’s done, as Tableau documentation was not very helpful, so I had to do my own research.

What you’d need is:

1. Your Tableau Cloud site location
2. Azure App Registration (Entra Id), configured properly
3. Secret you’d generate under App Registration

Here is the details

Your Tableau Cloud location

You need it to build a Redirect URI. Tableau documentation says:

Redirect URL: Note the pod your Tableau Cloud site is located to ensure you enter the correct redirect URL during the registration process in Step 2 below. The redirect URL uses the following format:

https://<your_pod>.online.tableau.com/auth/add_oauth_token

For example, https://us-west-2b.online.tableau.com/auth/add_oauth_token

So, you would check this part of your Tableau cloud instance:
https://us-west-2b.online.tableau.com/
and construct a Redirection URI:
https://us-west-2b.online.tableau.com/auth/add_oauth_token

Azure (Entra Id) App Registration

You need an App Registration under Entra Id, with API permissions consented and Authentication configured

API permissions must be the following: Under Graph API, delegated Files.Read.All, Sites.Read.All, User.Read, offline_access:

Authentication blade. You’d add platform: Web and use Redirect URI as above. Example:

Secret

Secret you’d generate under App Registration Certificates and secrets:

Once secret is generated, copy the secret value in a safe place and do not share it.

Also, get your app id and tenant id:

Now you are ready to connect…
