Before you use readonly user you need to enable the access . In older versions you will be using “tabadmin” command and in newer versions you will be using “tsm”.
Users will be connecting to tableau repository using port 8060.
Run below command to enable repository access
tabadmin dbpass --username readonly <password>
or
tsm data-access repository-access enable --repository-username readonly --repository-password <password >
When enabling the "readonly" user access i have received error using TSM.
61% - The services failed to stop. 66% - Disabling database services.
72% - Waiting for database services to disable.
The update repository access job has failed.
or
66% - An error occurred while waiting for services to reconfigure.
73% - Disabling database services.
80% - Waiting for database services to disable.
The update repository access job has failed.
I tried different ways but didn’t help. Finally I have stopped the services and ran the above TSM command and it executed successfully.
or
tsm data-access repository-access enable --repository-username readonly --repository-password <password >

Steps:
stop tableau services using TSM
run the command - tsm data-access repository-access enable --repository-username readonly --repository-password <password >
start tableau services using TSM
This operation will perform a server restart. Are you sure you wish to continue?
