Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by tracing how Connection Item data from the Tableau Server REST API is represented and exposed by the Python client, then identify the response field needed to indicate OAuth usage. Done means callers can determine whether a connection uses OAuth while the deprecated connection_credentials data remains omitted.

Description

enhancement needs investigation ui-exists

Summary

While the deprecated api appropriately removed connection_credentials whether the connection is over oauth should still be returned

Description

We would like to use the API to help monitor and enforce that connections to certain servers/services always use OAuth -- however with the current api, it doesn't seem possible to know whether it's doing that or not.
