# Permissions, Site Roles, and Licenses

Adding a user to Tableau Cloud requires an available license. (Users can also be added as unlicensed and configured so they will consume a license only when they first sign in. For more information, see [Grant License on Sign In](https://help.tableau.com/current/server-linux/en-us/grant_role.htm).) For each site the user belongs to they have exactly one site role, restricted by their license. A user has permissions for content on the site, restricted by what their site role allows.

Licenses and site roles apply to users. Permission capabilities apply to content.

**Licenses** are assigned to a user when they are created (or sign in for the first time) on the Tableau Server or Tableau Cloud site. Users are licensed as a **Creator**, **Explorer**, or **Viewer**.

- License levels are consumed based on the maximum _site role_ a user can have on that server.
    - Server Administrator, Site Administrator Creator, and Creator site roles use a Creator license.
    - Site Administrator Explorer, Explorer (can publish), and Explorer site roles use at least an Explorer license.
    - Viewer site role uses at least a Viewer license.
    - An unlicensed user can exist on the site, but they cannot sign in unless they were added with grant site role on sign in.
- For Tableau Server, a user consumes only one license per server, even if they are a member of multiple sites. If a user is a member of multiple sites, their required license level is determined by their highest site role. (For example, if a user has a Creator site role in one site and a Viewer site role in two others, they consume a Creator license.)

**Site roles** are assigned to a user for each site they are a member of.

- Site roles determine the maximum capabilities a user can have in that site. (For example, a user with a site role of Viewer will never be able to download a data source even if that capability is explicitly granted to them on a specific data source.)
- Site roles do not inherently grant any capabilities in and of themselves—with the exception of the administrator site roles. Administrators always have all capabilities applicable to their license level.

**Permissions** consist of _capabilities_, like the ability to save to a project, web edit a workbook, connect to a data source, etc. They apply to group or user on a specific piece of content (project, data source, workbook, view, or flow). For more information, see [Permission Capabilities and Templates](https://help.tableau.com/current/server-linux/en-us/permissions_capabilities.htm).

- Permission capabilities are not given to a group or user in a vacuum but rather in the context of content. A user can have different capabilities for different content assets.
- Permissions are evaluated based on the interplay of a user’s site role and the permission rules for that user or any groups they are members of.
- Some actions such as web authoring might require combinations of capabilities. For more information, see [Permission settings for specific scenarios](https://help.tableau.com/current/server-linux/en-us/permissions.htm#Permissi).

## Site roles and their maximum capabilities

These tables indicate what capabilities are available for a site role. There may be other ways for a user with a site role to perform a similar action. For example, although Viewers can't be given the Share Customized capability to make their custom views visible to others on the workbook, they can share custom views by copying the view URL. See [General capabilities allowed with each site role](https://help.tableau.com/current/server-linux/en-us/users_site_roles.htm#site-role-capabilities-summary) for more information on what each site role can do.

For more information about each capability, see [Permission Capabilities and Templates](https://help.tableau.com/current/server-linux/en-us/permissions_capabilities.htm).

† Prior to Tableau 2021.3, the availability of Explain Data was controlled at the server level only using the tsm configuration set option ExplainDataEnabled. In 2021.3 and later, availability of Explain Data can be controlled in site settings and in a workbook using the Run Explain Data capability. The availability of Explain Data in viewing mode is controlled in a workbook in the Explain Data Settings dialog box.

‡ Full Data Query (FDQ) can be granted to all site roles. It works together with API or AI Access to grant those tools the ability to query the full data. FDQ is not the same as Download Full Data.

§ Prior to Tableau 2021.3, the Create/Refresh Metrics capability was controlled by the Download Full Data capability.

### Flows

To run flows on a schedule, you must have a Data Management license. For information about configuring flow settings, see [Create and Interact with Flows on the Web](https://help.tableau.com/current/server/en-us/web_author_flows.htm). Explorer (can publish) license users can run flows on Tableau Server and Tableau Cloud. Starting in version 2020.4 Explorer license users cannot run flows, even if the administrator grants them the Run Flow permissions.

### Metrics (retired 2024.2)

> [!TIP]
> 
>  The information in this section is for the legacy metrics feature, which was retired in Tableau Cloud in February 2024 and in Tableau Server version 2024.2. For information about permissions for Tableau Pulse metrics, see [Set Up Your Site for Tableau Pulse](https://help.tableau.com/current/online/en-us/pulse_set_up.htm#permissions).

**Retirement of the legacy metrics feature**

Tableau's legacy metrics feature was retired in Tableau Cloud in February 2024 and in Tableau Server version 2024.2. In October 2023, Tableau retired the ability to embed legacy metrics in Tableau Cloud and in Tableau Server version 2023.3. With Tableau Pulse, we've developed an improved experience to track metrics and ask questions of your data. For more information, see [Create Metrics with Tableau Pulse](https://help.tableau.com/current/online/en-us/pulse_create_metrics.htm) to learn about the new experience and [Create and Troubleshoot Metrics (Retired)](https://help.tableau.com/current/online/en-us/metrics_create.htm) for the retired feature.

\* Although the Explorer role can be given the Move capability, they can’t have the Publish capability on a project and therefore there is no place for them to move content to. The Move capability should therefore be considered not possible for Explorer site roles.

\*\* Although the Explorer (can publish) role can be given the **Connect** capability for Virtual Connections, the ability to create a new data source of any kind, including Virtual Connections, is only available for users with a Creator site role. Similarly, Explorer and Viewer role users can't access the UI to connect to new or existing data sources. The **Connect** capability should be considered not possible for any role but Creator.
