Qlik Anonymous Access specifications and capacity

This topic outlines the specifications and capacities for Qlik Anonymous Access subscriptions.

There are some differences between Qlik Anonymous Access subscriptions and other Qlik Cloud subscriptions. While you might need to consider some of the same requirements as for a capacity-based subscription, Qlik Anonymous Access subscriptions also require attention to capacities for anonymous access, including:

• Maximum memory that can be consumed concurrently by all apps

• Maximum number of app sessions being consumed concurrently by all anonymous users

For more information about these metrics, see Understanding the subscription value meters. For information about differences between Qlik Anonymous Access and capacity-based subscriptions, see Differences between Qlik Anonymous Access and capacity-based subscriptions.

Terminology on this page

The following terminology is used in content about anonymous access:

• Anonymous users: Users who are accessing app content without signing in, either through anonymous access links to an app or by consuming embedded analytics anonymously. These users are not members of the Qlik Cloud tenant, and also do not require Qlik accounts.

• Tenant users: Users who are members of the tenant and manage the tenant or develop analytics for consumption by anonymous users. Tenant users have Full User entitlement and may also have specific administrator privileges in the tenant.
