Helpful Note:
- Groups with ‘Analyst’ are a good starting point for all users.
- Groups with ‘Developer’ are for those who will have a Tableau Desktop license.
- If Office of the Chief Information Officer is the group selected, select TAB-RAE-All Users as the role.

Helpful Note:
Reporting access will suffice for most users; direct access is for users writing their own SQL.
