Identity providers
An identity provider (IdP) manages identity information for users and provides authentication services. You have the option to use an already existing IdP when setting up your deployment. You can also choose to use Qlik Account. Any IdP vendor compatible with the OpenID Connect or SAML standard is supported.
To support the use of your own IdP, your license includes IdP. With this license there is an Identity provider pane in the Management Console. If you do not have an IdP, you can use the invite option under Users in the Management Console.
This functionality is not available in Qlik Sense Business.
In Qlik Cloud, Qlik automatically provisions a default identity provider (IdP) called Qlik Account to make it easier to get started with the platform (not available with Qlik Cloud Government). Qlik Account is a Qlik provided authentication mechanism to access properties within the qlik.com and qlikcloud.com domains. The email address for which you received the Qlik Cloud welcome email, also known as the Service Account Owner, is a member of the Qlik AccountIdP, and for Qlik Cloud tenants created via My Qlik is able to immediately log into the tenant following creation.
You can also choose to use your own IdP to a Qlik Cloud deployment. Each Qlik Cloud tenant supports one interactive IdP such as Qlik Account, Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), OKTA, Auth0, or another IdP compliant with OpenID Connect (OIDC) or SAML. If you deploy your own interactive IdP, this will replace the Qlik Account login flow with that of your chosen IdP.
