Summary

In this chapter, you learned about the Tableau platform, its most popular products, and how they work together. You also learned what a site is and how a single instance of Tableau Server can have multiple sites to help your organization manage its content. Finally, you learned about the available Tableau product license types and which type is required for your role within an organization, the difference between site roles and permissions settings for server content, and how all of these things work together to determine what you can do within your Tableau Server environment. The principles learned in this chapter set the foundation for the remainder of this book, as well as how you interact with Tableau Server and its content.

In the next chapter, you will learn how to connect to Tableau Server and Tableau Public, how to publish content to each platform, and how to determine at which level to manage various settings.
