Qlik Cloud administrator roles
There are a number of types of Qlik Cloud administrators. An individual can have more than one administrator role assigned.
Qlik Cloud supports the following types of administrators. For more information about administrator permissions, see Permissions granted by security roles.
Service account owner
The service account owner (SAO) is the person who registers for and manages the subscription or trial. They are responsible for creating and configuring the tenant and for inviting users to join the tenant.
The service account owner is considered the global or master administrator and is the initial tenant administrator. Only the service account owner can manage the subscription. For more information, see Managing your Qlik Cloud subscription
Tenant administrator
Tenant administrators are responsible for managing the organization’s Qlik Cloud environment. This role provides full capabilities to manage and administer the tenant, such as user management, system extensions, and system customization. Tenant administrators have full access to the Management Console. You must have at least one tenant administrator.
In addition to tenant admins, you can also have analytics admins, data admins, and audit admins in the tenant. These administrators have limited permissions compared to the tenant admin. For example, they cannot manage users or system security. You can use these roles to restrict administrators' capabilities.
Anyone who is assigned the Tenant Admin role may be granted access to:
-
Information (which may include personal information) relating to all users in the tenant to which the Tenant Admin role is assigned; and
-
The subject (which is a unique string used to identify the user that is provided to Qlik Cloud by the configured identity provider) for users of other tenants which share the same Qlik license or subscription as the tenant on which the Tenant Admin role is assigned.
Analytics administrator
Analytics administrators can manage user resources for analytics services from the Management Console.
Data administrator
Data administrators can manage data spaces and resources in data spaces. Data spaces are managed from the Management Console and data resources are managed from the Data Integration home.
Audit administrator
Audit administrators who also are assigned the Developer role can access app feedback and usage metrics captured as part of the Natural Language API.
