There are two types of credentials that can be used when making a connection in SaaS editions of Qlik Sense. If you leave the User defined credentials check box deselected, then only one set of credentials will be used for the connection. These credentials belong to the connection and will be used by anyone who can access it. For example, if the connection is in a shared space, every user in the space will be able to use these credentials. This one-to-one mapping is the default setting.

More information is mentioned here - https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/ODBC_Connector_help/Content/Connectors_ODBC/SQLServer/Create-SQL-Server-connection.htm

I hope this helps!
