Streamlining user types in Qlik Cloud capacity-based subscriptions

As part of our ongoing commitment to provide the best possible experience for Qlik Cloud users, we are removing the Basic and Full User construct from tenants on capacity-based subscriptions, simplifying to just User.

Why are we doing this?

User capabilities on capacity-based tenants are governed by access control. Thus, a difference in user type designation is no longer required to determine what a user can do in the tenant.

What changes are being made?

Any user authenticating to a capacity-based tenant will be considered a Full User. The concept of a Basic User is removed from the product. Any and all users purchased under capacity entitlement will be available as Full Users. Full User consumption is deducted from the total number of user capacity purchased.

The auto-assignment toggles in Settings > Entitlements will be removed from the product. To grant these roles to everyone in the tenant, use the Auto assign option in Manage users > Permissions.

How does this impact you?

Current access control configuration for existing users is unchanged. You may have to modify the User Default role, assign users to built-in roles, or create new custom roles to support access to tenant features and capabilities. Please see Roles and permissions for users and administrators for information on your tenant’s access control system.
