You have an existing group subscription. You add a user to the group. What statement correctly describes the result?
Subscriptions in Tableau Server deliver workbook views to users via email on a schedule. Group subscriptions apply to all group members---let's unpack this:
Group Subscription Mechanics:
Created via Workbooks > Actions > Subscribe > Select Group.
Delivers content to all users in the group at the time the subscription runs (e.g., daily PDF).
Dynamic: Membership updates (additions/removals) are reflected automatically on the next run.
Option C (The subscription updates automatically to include the new user): Correct.
Details: When you add a user to the group (e.g., via Users > Groups > Add Users), Tableau Server's subscription process queries the group's current membership at runtime. The new user receives the subscription on the next scheduled delivery---no manual action needed.
Example: Group 'Sales' has a 9 AM subscription. Add a user at 8 AM---they get the email tomorrow at 9 AM.
Option A (Admin receives notice to approve/deny): Incorrect.
Why: No approval workflow exists for group membership changes in subscriptions---it's automatic.
Option B (Creator must manually edit): Incorrect.
Why: Subscriptions are tied to the group, not a static user list---manual edits aren't required for membership changes.
Option D (Only members at creation time): Incorrect.
Why: This would be true for individual subscriptions (static list), but group subscriptions are dynamic.
Why This Matters: Dynamic group subscriptions streamline content delivery as teams evolve, reducing admin overhead.
