Adding root admin and admin users

The first user that accesses the QMC and adds the server license, obtains the role root administrator (RootAdmin) for the Qlik Sense system. This user has full access rights to all resources in the site: security rules, streams, nodes, and so on. Additional users can be assigned as RootAdmin or other admin roles with different administrative rights.

This workflow illustrates adding QMC administrators:

   Information noteAdding the LEF makes you the root administrator for the Qlik Sense site.
4. To add more administrators, see Setup workflow for an admin user.

4. Select the users that are to have administrative rights and click Edit.

5. Click Add role and select one of the roles in the drop-down list. You can also type the name of a new role, but this role will not be valid until it has been properly defined.
