Providing administrators with access using roles
Qlik Sense is delivered with predefined sets of (default) rules for administrators. These predefined sets of rules are referred to as admin roles.
The QMC is delivered with a set of predefined administration roles. Each role is associated with security rules tailored for specific purposes as described in the following table.
| Property | Description |

| AuditAdmin |
Has read access to all resource names, and for users also read access to user directory name and user directory ID. Has read rights on the Monitoring apps stream. |
| ContentAdmin | Has create, read, update and delete rights for all resources except nodes, engines, repositories, schedulers, proxies, virtual proxies, and syncs. Has read and publish rights on the Monitoring apps stream. |
| DeploymentAdmin |
