Adding root admin and admin users

The first user that is accessing the Qlik Management Console (QMC) and adding the server license obtains the role root administrator (RootAdmin) for the Qlik Sense system. This user has full access rights for all resources in the site: security rules, streams, nodes and so on. Additional users can be assigned as RootAdmin if needed or assigned to other admin roles with other administrative rights.

This workflow illustrates adding QMC administrators:

Setup workflow for root administrator (RootAdmin)

Do the following:

1. Verify that Qlik Sense is installed.

2. Login to Qlik Management Console (QMC) using the Windows account you want to use as root administrator (RootAdmin).

3. Add the LEF license to the QMC.

   Information noteAdding the LEF makes you the root administrator for the Qlik Sense site.
4. To add more administrators, see Setup workflow admin user.

The root administrator role is now created.

Setup workflow admin user

Do the following:

1. Login as root administrator (RootAdmin).
2. Import users with the user directory connector.
3. Select Users on the QMC start page or from the StartS drop-down menu to display the overview.
4. Select the users that should have administrative rights and click Edit.

5. Assign the role using the Admin roles attribute by clicking P and entering the name of the administration role in the text box that appears.

   Tip noteYou can assign several administration roles to a user.
   Information noteYou cannot remove the root administrator role from yourself. This is to prevent you from accidentally blocking the RootAdmin from using the QMC.

Administrators roles are now created.
