Table recommendations in Tableau Server suggest popular tables and data sources to users when they create new content in the web authoring environment. This feature is enabled by default but can be disabled at the site level.
Option A (Disable the option using the site Settings page): Correct. A site administrator can disable table recommendations by navigating to the site's Settings > General page in the Tableau Server web interface and unchecking the option "Enable table recommendations." This prevents users on that site from seeing these suggestions, offering a straightforward UI-based solution.
Option B (Use the command: tsm configuration set -k recommendations.enabled -v false): Incorrect. There is no recommendations.enabled key in the TSM configuration settings. This feature is managed per site, not server-wide via TSM.
Option C (Publish data sources only to projects with permissions locked): Incorrect. Locking permissions restricts access but doesn't disable the recommendation feature itself. Users with access would still see recommendations.
Option D (Disable the option using the server Settings page): Incorrect. Table recommendations are a site- specific setting, not a server-wide setting. The server Settings page (via TSM) controls global configurations, not this feature.
