Configuring Qlik Sense

When Qlik Sense is installed, the site must be prepared for the Qlik Sense users to be able to access the hub and start using Qlik Sense. This is the recommended workflow when you configure Qlik Sense after installation:

Do the following:

  1. If not performed during the installation, activate the license. This will:

    • Make you the root admin for the site.
    • Provide analyzer and professional access for a defined number of users. (user-based license)
    • Provide tokens that can be used on access types (token-based license).
  2. If not performed during the installation, allocate user access to yourself.

  3. Add a user directory connector in the QMC to prepare for import of users.

  4. Synchronize with user directories to retrieve users from the directory service configured by the user directory connector.

  5. Add additional admin users, if more administrators than the root admin are to be given access to the QMC.

  6. Provide the users with an access type: Professional access or Analyzer access (user-based license), or User access or Login access, (token-based license), so that they can access streams and apps in the hub.

  7. Create new streams.

  8. Create the security rules for the streams to enable the users to read from and/or publish to the streams. Analyzer access does not grant publishing rights.

The Qlik Sense environment is now available for the Qlik Sense users.

Information noteBy default all Qlik Sense users have read and publish rights to the default stream called Everyone.
