Linux Tableau Upgrade - which user account
I need to upgrade our Tableau server version from 2019.4 to 2020.4 running on an AWS EC2 Amazon Linux 2 via terminal
Default user is ec2-user and I also noticed another user called tableau As which user should I run the upgrade? Does it matter if both are part of the wheel group and if any previous upgrades was done with the tableau user?
