Assign a User a Tableau Next Permission Set

Assign permissions to users based on their level of interaction with Tableau Next capabilities. Users must already be created in Salesforce. You can’t add users in the Tableau Next app. Each Tableau Next permission set that you assign to a user consumes a license. You can view your license status as you assign permission sets.
