Permissions in User Default and custom roles
The User Default role grants basic permissions to all users in the tenant and custom roles extend these permissions for specific users or groups. Administrators manage access rights by configuring permissions in the role settings.
This topic is applicable to Qlik Anonymous Access subscriptions. For other Qlik Cloud subscriptions, see:

Standard, Premium, or Enterprise edition of Qlik Cloud Analytics or Qlik Cloud Data Integration: Managing users - Capacity-based subscriptions

Default permissions and custom roles, along with built-in security roles, control user and administrator access at the tenant level. Additionally, space roles control user actions on content within specific spaces. For more information about the different types of roles, see Roles and permissions for users and administrators.
The table shows the permissions available in the User Default or custom role settings. Some settings might be available in only the User Default role or only in custom roles.
For custom roles, you will also have the option to inherit the User Default permission, shown as "User default (permission setting)"—for example, "User default (Not allowed)". This means that the setting in the custom role will match whatever the default is set to.
The "Not allowed" option is only available for the User Default role because custom roles can’t remove permissions that are already allowed by default.
