As of 2018.1, Tableau Server uses the systemd user service to manage processes. This means there is a systemd process that runs as the unprivileged user. By default, Tableau Server Setup creates an unprivileged account named Tableau. The Tableau Server processes are spawned from the systemd process and not the system-wide systemdprocess, which runs as root.

All TSM services were run from the normal system-wide systemd process (process ID 1, which runs all processes on the operating system). In this scheme, systemd process runs as root. Therefore, the 10.5 version of Tableau Server required sudo privileges. With the current 2018.1 (and later) releases, we have removed …

The environment variable "XDG_RUNTIME_DIR" was not set for the System User. As a result Systemd could not be run as a user service. This can prevent Tableau Services from being able to be run, and prevent TSM commands from being used.
Red Hat disabled the systemd user service in RHEL 7 (and thereby all distros that come from RHEL, like CentOS, Oracle Linux 7, Amazon Linux 2). However, RedHat has assured Tableau that running the systemd user service is supported as long as the service is re-enabled.
In this scheme, systemd process runs as root. Therefore, the 10.5 version of Tableau Server required sudo privileges. With the current 2018.1 (and later) releases, we have removed the need for sudo privileges by making use of the systemd capability to run as a user service.
By default, Tableau Server Setup creates an unprivileged account named Tableau. The Tableau Server processes are spawned from the systemd process and not the system-wide systemd process, which runs as root.
