# How should teams plan Tableau Creator, Explorer and Viewer licences for a wider rollout?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Say a dashboard that started with five analysts now needs to reach two hundred managers: I've been looking into how teams plan <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/tableau/reviews">Tableau</a> Creator, Explorer and Viewer licences for that kind of rollout. Going by reviews, licensing becomes a planning question as a rollout extends across an enterprise or to a large viewing audience, and matching roles carefully, Creator for people who build, Explorer for those who adjust and Viewer for those who only read, keeps cost aligned with how each person uses it. The appeal of the rollout is real: complex datasets turned into interactive visualisations with minimal coding, and dashboards where trends are easy to spot.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">In <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/analytics-platforms">analytics platforms</a>, role-based licensing suits organisations where a small group builds and a larger group consumes, since most viewers never need the building tools.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">How is your organisation split between Creators, Explorers and Viewers?

&lt;p&gt;How did you decide who gets Explorer versus Viewer? Did most people start on Viewer and move up on request?&lt;/p&gt;
