Assigning user entitlements

User entitlements determine the areas of the tenant each user can access, and the actions they can do in these areas. Tenant administrators can assign or remove a user entitlement from the Management Console.

Information noteThis topic is applicable to Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS, Qlik Sense Business, and Qlik Cloud Government. If you have a subscription for the Standard, Premium, or Enterprise edition of Qlik Cloud Analytics or Qlik Cloud Data Integration, see Managing users - Capacity-based subscriptions.

What are user entitlements

When users join the tenant, you assign them Professional entitlement or Analyzer entitlement. The number of user entitlements is based on your Qlik Cloud subscription. You can see the number of available users entitlements and how many users you have consumed in the Management Console Home. For more information, see Monitoring resource consumption.

  • Professional entitlement is intended for users who will create content in Qlik Sense. A user with Professional entitlement can create shared spaces, create, edit, and publish sheets or apps, and can create and edit alerts.

    Information noteUsers with Professional entitlement have no limit on the number of parallel user connections they can have.
  • Analyzer entitlement is intended for users who only consume sheets and apps created by others. A user with Analyzer entitlement cannot create, edit, or publish sheets or apps, but can create stories, bookmarks and snapshots based on data in apps that are shared with them. The user can also generate on-demand apps, print objects, stories, and sheets, and export data from an object to Microsoft Excel.

  • Analyzer capacity (minutes) is intended for providing time-based Analyzer access. You can see the total amount of minutes available per month and the consumed minutes in the Management Console Home.

Managing user entitlements

Tenant admins can manage the user entitlements under Users in the Management Console.

  1. In the Management Console, go to Users, and then select the All users tab.
  2. Select one or more users from the list.

  3. Click Change entitlements.
  4. Select the checkbox for the entitlement you want to assign, and then click Save.
Information noteYou can automatically assign user entitlements. See Enabling dynamic assignment of entitlements.

Changing user entitlement from Analyzer to Professional

Do the following:

  1. In the Management Console, go to Users, and then select the All users tab.
  2. Select one or more users from the list.

  3. Click Change entitlements.
  4. Select Professional, and then click Save.

Enabling dynamic assignment of entitlements

You can enable automatic assignment of Professional entitlement or Analyzer entitlement to users when they log in to Qlik Cloud.

There are two toggles for dynamic entitlement assignment: Enable dynamic assignment of professional users and Enable dynamic assignment of analyzer users. Depending on which toggles you turn on, there are four options:

  • Both enabled: Professional entitlement is assigned, if available, otherwise Analyzer entitlement. If neither of those are available, Analyzer capacity is assigned, if available.

  • Only enabled for Professional: Professional entitlement is assigned, if available, otherwise Analyzer capacity is assigned, if available.

  • Only enabled for Analyzer: Analyzer entitlement is assigned, if available, otherwise Analyzer capacity is assigned, if available.

  • Both turned off: Analyzer capacity access is assigned, if available.

Do the following:

  1. In the Management Console, go to Settings > Entitlements.
  2. Turn on the Enable dynamic assignment of professional users option to assign Professional entitlement automatically.
  3. Turn on the Enable dynamic assignment of analyzer users option to assign Analyzer entitlement automatically.

If you change to a new license key, all your assignments are removed, because they are associated with the license, not the tenant. However, if you start using the old license key again, the assignments will be present.
