To which site role can you associate the Viewer user-based license level?

A user's license level determines the maximum site role they can be assigned on a Tableau site. The Viewer license is the most restrictive, designed for users who only need to view and interact with published visualizations. Consequently, a user holding a Viewer license can only be assigned the Viewer site role. Assigning them a higher role, such as Explorer or Creator, would grant capabilities that their license does not support.

A. Creator: The Creator site role requires a Creator license, as it allows for creating new data sources and publishing content, which is beyond the scope of a Viewer license.

B. Explorer (can publish): This site role requires at least an Explorer license. It grants publishing capabilities that are not included in the Viewer license level.

D. Explorer: The Explorer site role, which allows for web editing of existing content, requires a minimum of an Explorer license. A Viewer license does not permit these actions.

1. Tableau Server Help: Set Users’ Site Roles. This official documentation provides a table that explicitly maps license types to available site roles. It states, "A user with a Viewer license can have only the Viewer site role." (Accessed under the section "Site roles and license types").

2. Tableau Cloud Help: Permissions. This document outlines the capabilities associated with each license and site role. It clarifies that the Viewer license level corresponds directly to the Viewer site role, which is limited to viewing and interacting with published content. (Accessed under the section "Explore site roles and their capabilities").
