The limiting factor in this scenario is the user's license level. Setting proactive data alerts through Tableau Agent is an authoring-oriented capability that requires Tableau Next Creator access. A Consumer user can view and interact with published analytical content, but the Consumer persona does not receive the full set of creation and configuration capabilities needed to define alert conditions.

The fallback semantic model in option B is used when Tableau Agent lacks clear analytical context, such as when a user invokes the agent from a surface that does not already identify the relevant Tableau Next asset. Here, the user is explicitly accessing Tableau Agent from a page that contains Tableau Next content, so lack of fallback scoping is not the primary issue. Option A can prevent analysis of a particular metric, but the question establishes a broader inability to set the alert and emphasizes that the user has a Consumer license.

The appropriate remediation is therefore to use the Creator-level entitlement for users who must configure proactive alerts. This preserves the distinction between consumption permissions and analytical creation/configuration permissions.
