Kuvaus

When a published data source flow output name contains a special character, the flow fails to run on Tableau Server or Tableau Cloud with the error message:

Insufficient permission to publish data source.

The file path for the output step isn't valid.  Check that the file name and path is valid, the file name doesn't use "/", "\" or other special characters, and that you have write permissions to that location.
