Georgia Tech’s Tableau Server hosts a set of governed enterprise LITE data sources that cover major institutional domains. These shared resources allow Tableau Developers to build reports using trusted, centrally modeled data.
Access is granted at the domain level — not to individual data sources. If approved, you will gain access to all data sources within that domain.
Available Domains
The following enterprise domains currently have curated data sources available:
- FINANCIALS
- GENERAL (All Tenant Developers can access)
- HCM (Human Capital Management)
- HCM-Commitment Accounting
- HCM-Service Now
- HOUSING
- RESEARCH
- STUDENT
- TRANSACT
These domains contain published data sources created and maintained by centralized data stewards and enterprise teams.
Requesting Access
Only onboarded tenant Tableau developers can request access to enterprise LITE data sources. See Tenant Onboarding for more details.
To request access to an enterprise domain:
- Identify the domain(s) relevant to your reporting needs.
- Email ea-tableau@office365.gatech.edu with:
- Your Tableau tenant department
- The domain(s) you’re requesting access to
- A brief explanation of how you plan to use the data
- We will follow up with instructions on additional steps needed for each domain.
- Once approved, your account will be granted permission to connect to published data sources in Tableau Desktop or web authoring for the requested domain(s).
Data Security and Privacy
Data Sensitivity
All data must be treated with the same level of confidentiality as the source system (e.g., Banner, Workday, Data Warehouse). Highly restricted data in its source system retains that restriction in downstream reports, back-end databases, or local applications.
Confidentiality Responsibility
Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of data in any reports, systems, or applications they create and manage. Misuse or mishandling of confidential data may result in access revocation or other corrective actions.
Data Export Controls
Export functionality is not explicitly restricted in Tableau Server. However, developers are prohibited from creating dashboards or reports that enable others to bypass existing security protocols by exporting sensitive data.
Data Usage Scope
Access to Tableau Server data sources is provisioned explicitly for analytics and visualization within Tableau. Developers must not use Tableau as a means to secure data for external activities or applications.
External Use Requests: Users requiring access to data sources for external purposes must work with the Enterprise Data Services team to arrange direct data delivery outside of Tableau.
