Yes, This helps a lot. I'm planning to get the user subscription list using python code and then load it into CSV. Once the data is verified, then the plan is to use this logic to loop through those records in CSV to create subscriptions. There is no proper documentation regarding how to create subscriptions without using a manual process. The actual plan is to use Alteryx to do this, but there is very limited documentation to do the admin work using it. So came across folks using Python to do the tableau admin work.

Here is a link that I found which serves my purpose on Alteryx.

Let me know if you would like to add anything that I can do to make the above solution easier.

Thanks
