Create a Tableau Next Exploratory Org for an Analyst

A Exploratory Org is an isolated environment designed to provide analysts with self-service capabilities, reuse assets from other places, perform their work independently, and not affect other environments.

User Permissions Needed
To create a Tableau Next Exploratory Org: Tableau Next Admin permission set

Consider the following details and limitations of Exploratory Orgs:

  • Each analyst is allowed one Exploratory Org.
  • The total number of Exploratory Orgs is limited to 100 or the total Creator licenses purchased, whichever is fewer.
  • Creation can take up to an hour.
  • If an analyst loses their Tableau Next license, they also lose access to their Exploratory Org and all its content. Reassigning the license restores access.
  1. In Tableau Next, click Administration, and then click Settings.
  2. Under Manage Users, click Users.
  3. Select the user who you want to enable a Exploratory Org for.
    The user must be assigned the Tableau Self-Service Analyst or Tableau Platform Analyst permission set to access a Exploratory Org.
  4. On the user’s Exploratory Org tab, click Create Exploratory Org.
    After the Exploratory Org is created, the owner will get a notification email. The next time the analyst logs in to Tableau Next, they will see a Exploratory Org in the bottom left of their workspace.
