Management console
The management console is used for managing licenses, user assignments, manage spaces, themes, and extensions in cloud editions of Qlik Sense. The management console should not be confused with the Qlik Management Console (QMC), which is used for managing Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows. Only users with Tenant Admin role have access to the management console.
You access the management console by adding /console to your tenant address: https://<your tenant address>/console, or by using the navigation link Tenant settings under user profile in the hub.
Currently, the management console supports a fully enabled Qlik Cloud Services deployment, or a single deployment of Qlik Sense Enterprise on Kubernetes.
Here you can find an overview of the main sections that compose the management console.
Licenses
The licenses section has three tabs: Overview, Assigned users, and License key.
Overview
Overview shows basic information about the license. In the Overview tab you can also add a license if needed.
| License item | Description |
|---|---|
| Professional |
Consumed: number of users with professional access. Total: Total availability of professional access. |
| Analyzer |
Consumed: number of users with analyzer access. Total: Total availability of analyzer access. |
| Analyzer capacity (minutes) |
Consumed: amount of minutes spent. Total: Total amount of minutes available per month. Overage is required after the total amount has been spent. Overage. Overage can either be limited, to the amount stated, or unlimited. For more information about analyzer capacity, see Analyzer capacity license. |
| Expires | Date of license expiration. |
| Quotas
|
|
| Shared spaces | Consumed: number of shared spaces. Quota limit: Quota limit can either be limited, to the amount stated, or unlimited. |
| In-memory app size | Maximum app memory size. |
Assigned users
Assigned users shows information about users and license types. There are also buttons for removing assignments and assigning analyzer or professional access.
| License item | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Name of user. |
| User ID | Unique ID for the user. |
| IdP subject | User identifier in the identity provider (IdP). This value is needed when adding new users from the IdP user database. |
| License | License type assigned to the user: professional, analyzer, or analyzer capacity (also known as analyzer time). |
| Status |
When the number of allocated assignments is larger than defined by the license, some users will be excluded. The users will then no longer have access to the hub or the management console. The Status column for the users will show Excluded. Those who most recently were assigned access will be excluded. They will remain excluded until the number of allocations matches the number defined by the license. If more access assignments are made available, or if the admin removes access for others, access will be reallocated to excluded users. |

License key
In the License key tab you can change a license if needed. To change the license: paste the license key in the text box and click Submit.
Users
The users page displays all the users that have logged into the tenant. If a user has a certain role (tenant admin), it is displayed in the roles field.
Use the search to find users. Use the buttons for assigning and removing tenant admins. For each user in the table, you also have a button to the far right where you can assign and remove the tenant admin role.
User status
The following are the available user statuses.
| Status | Description | Status can be changed to |
|---|---|---|
| active | User is fully registered and can consume according to the assigned license. | disabled |
| disabled | User license is removed and that user cannot access their account or use the product. | active |
Spaces
The spaces section has two tabs:
- Overview shows the current number of shared spaces, and the creation date of the latest space.
- Spaces shows a table with space name, space type, space owner, description of the space, and the space creation date. You also have buttons for deleting a space, changing the owner, editing the space, and creating a new space.
The following are the space types:
- Personal spaces: In personal spaces, only the owner can edit apps, that is, you cannot co-develop in personal spaces. You can share apps outside your space, but only for viewing.
- Shared spaces: Shared spaces allow for easy co-development of apps within a closed group of users. What actions you can perform with an app in a space is determined by permissions and your license. With a professional license you can create a shared space in the hub. You can then add new members to your shared space and assign them permissions.

Web
You can create web integrations to add origins that are whitelisted to access the tenant. The web integration containing the whitelist is connected to an ID used in for example a mashup that is connecting to your tenant. When a request arrives, Qlik Sense Enterprise confirms that the request derives from a whitelisted domain and then approves the request, else not.
Click ... to the far right to reach options for copying the ID, editing, or deleting the web integration.

On-demand data
| Property | Description |

Groups
Groups are used for access control of users, and can optionally be automatically created from idp-groups.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable auto-creation of groups |
When enabled, groups are inherited from the identity provider so that access can be granted to the same groups of users that exist in the IdP. This simplifies access administration compared to granting access to one user at a time. It is required that you use single sign-on and have administrative access to your IdP to configure groups. Note that new IdP groups will show up in Qlik Sense Enterprise as users log in (or log in again) to the Qlik Sense Enterprise tenant. IdP groups are not imported all at the same time. Instead, IdP groups are discovered at login time. Further, only groups associated with users in Qlik Sense Enterprise will be available as described earlier. |
Dynamic license assignment
With dynamic license assignment, you can automate assignment of access to users.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable dynamic assignment of professional access |
When enabled, users who log in are automatically assigned professional access, if available. |
| Enable dynamic assignment of analyzer access |
When enabled, and no professional access is available, users who log in are automatically assigned analyzer access, if available. |
