Default user permissions according to role

In the Qlik Compose Console, the menus, buttons, and options can be accessed only by users who have the relevant permissions. For example:

  • The Project view is available to all roles, but Designers only have read-access to user permissions, and operators cannot add projects – they can only view the different settings but not edit them. Viewers cannot edit settings, add, edit, or delete a project, or register a license.
  • The Model view for the Data Warehouse is available to all roles, but only Designers can create and manage the model, import entities and mappings from other projects (including models created in ERwin), manage global mappings, validate, define reusable transformations, add Date and Time entities for the model, and so on.

The following table lists the permissions granted to each of the predefined security roles:
