Adding an administrative role to a user

You can add administrative roles to a user.

Do the following:

  1. Select Users from the QMCStart page to display the Users overview.

  2. Click on the user or users that you want to connect to one or more administrative roles.

  3. Click Edit in the action bar.

  4. Make sure the Identification property group is selected from the panel to the far right.

    Click P in the Admin roles attribute and type the name of the administrative role that you want to connect to in the text box that appears.

    Information noteThe Admin roles text field is case sensitive, but the QMC will suggest roles as you type. Click on a suggestion to select it.
    Information noteAs in the Qlik Sense Client, if a user does not have access to a resource in the QMC, the user will not be able to access it in the QMC interface. For example, if you change a user's role from RootAdmin to DeploymentAdmin, the user will no longer be able to access the Apps, Streams or Data connections pages in the QMC (amongst others).
  5. Click Apply in the action bar to apply and save your changes.

  6. Select Users to display the overview where you can confirm that the administrative role has been applied correctly.

You have now added an administrative role to a user.
