Permission mismatch on Tableau Server/Online

[merlijnbuit]

Users using extensions on Tableau Server need the 'Download Summarydata' permission. If this permission is not enabled the extension won't run and throw an unexpected error in the developer tool console.

Hi Merlijn Thank you for reporting this. We will investigate how we can improve the error handling. John

As we discussed off-line, "download summary data" permission is required for getting the summary data and getting the parameters. We have discussed work-arounds with our security team, but have not had any success. John
