    server = TSC.Server(tableau_server_url)
    tableau_auth = TSC.TableauAuth(tableau_user_id, tableau_user_pw)

    print('Current REST API Version :', server.version)
    server.version = '2.8' # You can set tableau server version like this. In this example, version was set as 2.8.
    print('Modified REST API Version :', server.version, '\n')


    server.auth.sign_in(tableau_auth) # login to tableau server using tableau_auth class

    # Do something here

    server.auth.sign_out() # logout from tableau server
    print('Logged out')
