Is there a way to set up a filter where only the information entered can be shared to a user in Tableau?

Question

I have a Tableau workbook I want to share with the team. I have wildcard filters set to change across all pages when an individual enters their name. However, I do not want the individuals to see their peer's info.

Looking for a way to sort of have something prompt the user to enter a password (something similar) to have the filter automatically change to their name??? that way when they receive the workbook, they can only see their information.. All help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

Yes, there is a way to set up a filter which is called is called row-level security. It will do this for you by providing the specific username per attribute. Check this out: http://kb.tableau.com/articles/knowledgebase/row-level-security-and-user-filters
