Tableau Permissions

Capabilities (View, Filter, Download, Web Edit and others) granted or denied to users and groups on projects, workbooks, views and data sources.

Definition

Permission rules evaluate site role, ownership, project leader status and explicit rules. Deny overrides allow at the same level, and locked project permissions enforce consistency. Row-level data security is handled separately with user filters or data policies.

Exam tip

A user's site role caps their capabilities; a Viewer cannot get Web Edit through permissions.
