Importing extensions

By default only the RootAdmin user has the access rights to import extensions. To enable others to import extensions, you need to define security rules for this. Also, by default all Qlik Sense users have access to all extensions that you add. To change this you need to revise the security rule named Extension.

You can add extensions.

Do the following:

  1. Select Extensions on the QMC start page or from the StartS drop-down menu to display the overview.

  2. Click PImport in the action bar.

  3. The Import extension file dialog opens. Select a zip file to import.

    Remember to enter the password for the zip file if it is password protected.
  4. Click Open in the file explorer window.

  5. Click Import.

Information noteIf the name of an extension already exists (or occurs more than once in the zip file), the zip file is not uploaded. An extension within an extension in the zip file will be accessible in the extensions overview (and stored twice on disk).
Information noteExtensions are saved to %ProgramData%\Qlik\Repository\Extensions. The maximum file size is half of the free disk space.

You have now uploaded one or more new extensions.
