Thanks for the contribution! It looks like @ruby-sf is an internal user so signing the CLA is not required. However, we need to confirm this. |

| # Connected App JWT | ||

Suggest making both of these examples more clear by providing the argument name as well (better practice), jwt='JWT', etc

In December 2025, we added UAT, a new JWT-based auth type for Tableau Cloud: https://help.tableau.com/current/api/cloud-manager/en-us/docs/unified_access_tokens.html
@BereketBirbo added UAT to the TSC library here: https://github.com/tableau/server-client-python/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3ABereketBirbo+is%3Aclosed., which has been merged into the development branch.
This MR updates the docs to show the new parameter, and fixed a formatting issue on the PAT section (the table wasn't showing up)
