Anonymous authentication

You can allow users to access Qlik Sense without supplying the user identity and credentials. This is done by editing the virtual proxy property Anonymous access mode. There are various levels of anonymous use, see the descriptions in the procedure below.

Do the following:

1. Open the QMC: https://<QPS server name>/qmc

2. Select Virtual proxies on the QMC start page or from the Start drop-down menu to display the overview.

3. Select the virtual proxy that handles the authentication and click Edit.

4. Edit Anonymous access mode in the Authentication property group:

   • Select Allow anonymous user in the drop-down list if you want a user to enter as anonymous and then be able to switch to a user account.
   • Select Always anonymous user if all users always are to be anonymous.

   The default value is No anonymous user and the Qlik Sense users must supply the user identity and credentials.

5. Click Apply in the action bar to apply and save your changes.

   Successfully updated is displayed at the bottom of the page.

For the anonymous authentication method to be operational, you need to create a license rule that allows anonymous users for either an Analyzer Capacity license (requires a signed license key) or a Login Access Token.
