# Accessing Qlik Compose

You can use a Web browser to access the Qlik Compose Console from any computer in your network. For information on supported browsers, see [Preparing your system for Compose](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/compose/December2024/Content/ComposeDWDL/Main/DW/Installation%20and%20Setup/prepare_system.htm).

Information note

The person logged in to the computer where you are accessing the Console must be an authorized Qlik Compose user. For more information, see [Managing user permissions](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/compose/December2024/Content/ComposeDWDL/Main/DW/Manage%20Compose/manage_user_permissions.htm).

To access the Qlik Compose Console:

1. To access the Qlik Compose Console from the machine on which it is installed, select All Programs > Qlik Compose > Qlik Compose Console from the Windows Start menu. To access the Qlik Compose Console from a remote browser, type the following address in the address bar of your Web browser

   https://<ComputerName>/qlikcompose/

   Where <ComputerName> is the name or IP address of the computer on which Compose is installed.

2. If no server certificate is installed on the Compose machine, a page stating that the connection is untrusted will be displayed. This is because when Compose detects that no server certificate is installed, it installs a self-signed certificate. Since the browser has no way of knowing whether the certificate is safe, it displays this page. For more information, see [Setting up HTTPS for the Compose console](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/compose/December2024/Content/ComposeDWDL/Main/DW/Installation%20and%20Setup/set_up_https_for_compose_console.htm).

3. When prompted for your password, enter your domain username and password.
