User authentication with rest api

qlikster10 — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 12:41:49 GMT

I have this flow.
Using a template, I create a new app, publish it.
Next, I want to create a user and give access to this published app.
How can I get a token for this user using the rest API (I want to display his app on an external service without user authorization)?

You might want to look into the concept of anonymous access for cloud. I think that would be the preferred go-to solution for cases like this:

Another option could be to look into using JWT authentication and have a backend service produce JWTs per user. Be careful with this one though as you need to be sure you get the security part right otherwise you risk leaving security holes in your solution:

Hope that helps!
