Qlik Anonymous Access specifications and capacity limits

This topic outlines the specifications and capacities for Qlik Anonymous Access subscriptions.

There are some differences between Qlik Anonymous Access subscriptions and other Qlik Cloud subscriptions. While you might need to consider some of the same requirements as for a capacity-based subscription, Qlik Anonymous Access subscriptions also require attention to capacities for anonymous access, including:

• Maximum memory that can be consumed concurrently by all applications

• Maximum number of application sessions being consumed concurrently by all anonymous users

For more information about these metrics, see Understanding the subscription value meters. For information about differences between Qlik Anonymous Access and capacity-based subscriptions, see Differences between Qlik Anonymous Access and capacity-based subscriptions.

Terminology on this page

The following terminology is used in content about anonymous access:

• Anonymous users: Users who are accessing application content without signing in, either through anonymous access links to an application or by consuming embedded analytics anonymously. These users are not members of the Qlik Cloud tenant, and also do not require Qlik accounts.

• Tenant users: Users who are members of the tenant and manage the tenant or develop analytics for consumption by anonymous users. Tenant users may have administrator privileges in the tenant.
