Issue
After upgrading to Tableau Server 10.5, you can no longer give site members one of the "can publish" roles.

Environment
- Tableau Server 10.5

Resolution
Users should be assigned the Publisher site role in order to publish. For more information about these assignments, see Set User's Site Roles in Tableau Help.
Cause
The "Viewer (can publish)" and "Unlicensed (can publish)" roles have been deprecated and are no longer available.
