Multiple Profiles

[VDFaller]

Summary

I would love it if tableau authentication behaved more like AWS

I obviously can build wrappers for this, but this seems like pretty common functionality in python api packages. (Databricks,DBT,AWS,etc)

Request Type

I don't believe this would affect or be affected at all by rest API. as this is just some defaulting and setting before the API.

Description

Specifically allowing profiles to be specified or defaulting back to environment variables.

I imagine a profile would have the same information as the call for PAT auth

• token_name
• personal_access_token
• site_id

I intend to implement env-variable-based auth (something like TABLEAU_TOKEN_NAME / TABLEAU_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN / TABLEAU_SITE_ID), and may take on the profile-file layer at the same time. Tagging help wanted in case someone wants to pick this up before I get there.
