Permissions Methods
Using the permissions methods of the Tableau Server REST API you can:
- List, add, and delete granular default permissions that apply to new content created in a project
- List, add, and delete granular permissions for existing projects, workbooks, views, flows, metrics, and data sources
This functionality relates to the UI elements and concepts described at: Permissions Reference(Link opens in a new window).
Add Data Source Permissions
Adds permissions to the specified data source for a Tableau Server user or group. You can specify multiple sets of permissions using one call.
If a specified permission has already been granted or denied for a given user or group, the system ignores it.
If the request body includes a child workbook or <project> element, the request is invalid.

Add Default Permissions
Adds default permission capabilities granted to a user or group, for metric, flow, workbook, data source, data role, or lense resources in a project. After adding default permissions, resources of the type you specify that are added to a project will have those capabilities granted for a group or user. If permissions are locked to the project(Link opens in a new window), then the same is true for all existing child content of the project. For more information, see Permissions(Link opens in a new window).
Content owners can override default permissions for their content, but only if project permissions have not been locked. Project permissions can be locked for a new project when you call Create Project or for an existing project by calling Update Project. For more information, see Lock Content Permissions to the Project(Link opens in a new window).

Delete Default Permission
Removes default permission capabilities granted to a user or group, for metric, flow, workbook, data source, data role, or lense resources in a project. After deleting default permissions, resources of the type you specify that are added to a project will not have the those capabilities granted for a group or user. If permissions are locked to the project(Link opens in a new window), then the same is true for all existing child content of the project.
