Tableau Creator Licence

Start with a Tableau Creator licence.
Your organisation needs at least one Creator licence to create a new deployment and start using Tableau.

  • Creators are analysts, data scientists, IT professionals, or someone who analyses data and manages data environments.
  • Creators conduct deep data prep and analysis or create content with data for themselves or others.
  • A Creator licence allows you to prepare data and data sources, perform analysis, and share data sources, visualisations, and dashboards across your company.

Tableau Explorer Licence

Explorers are business users that use data sources built by others to create visualisations and dashboards.

  • Explorers want to ask and answer their own questions with data, even though they may not have analyst in their title.
  • An Explorer licence allows you to answer questions not addressed in initial reporting by modifying visualisations and dashboards.

Tableau Viewer Licence

Viewers need data to inform their work and provide insights, but don’t need or have time to conduct their own analysis.

  • Viewers make data-driven decisions that leverage your organisation’s analytics, including dashboards and Pulse metrics built by others.
  • Viewer licences help you scale analytics across your organisation, putting data into your users’ flow of work.
