Is Qlik Analytics Platform available on client-managed.

[Ql1kN00b]

I am new to the Qlik Analytics Platform and Qlik itself. So, I have a few queries regarding QAP. If someone could answer it would be a huge help.

1. From what I understand. if I want to embed reports into a custom application (without the need to login to Qlik), I need Qlik Analytics Platform License (QAP) along with QSE (to make apps and reports), right?

2. QSE is available as client-managed if I don't want to go for the cloud. Is the on-prem option available in QAP or is QAP only available on the cloud?

Hi @Ql1kN00b 

QAP is a client-managed product, which is a cut down version of Qlik Sense Enterprise client-managed.

If you are trying to OEM Qlik Sense, then you can use either QAP, or Qlik Sense for your embedding needs - I recommend you reach out to the sales team and they can take you through the various differences.

In Qlik Cloud, we only offer full Qlik Sense, and not QAP. You can still embed full Qlik Sense into your app or solutions, you'll just need the correct agreement with Qlik in order to do so.

Hope that helps!

Thank you for your response @DaveChannon,

Website asks for login credentials when I embedded using QSE SaaS professional license.

Without using QAP, can I embed sheets/visuals into a custom website so that  users can access their share of data (without asking for qlik login prompt)?

If I can what license do I need?

Hi @Ql1kN00b 

You can. You can use either the same OIDC provider as your portal (if you have that set up), or JWT auth to pass transparent auth from your portal to Qlik Cloud (a more complex example, but it shows using JWT: https://qlik.dev/embed/embed-quick-starts/managing-iframe-embedded-content-session-state-using-enigm...).

You can do the same thing with Qlik Sense Enterprise client managed too - you can use ticketing as you would with QAP. The only difference between those two products is that one renders the hub and designer experience and one does not.

Thanks again @DaveChannon,

Does that mean regardless of whether I use QAP or QSE (Cloud or Client-managed), if I don't use OIDC or JWT auth, I have to login to the qlik to get the visuals into website/application?

Hey @Ql1kN00b 

Ah, if you don't want the user to have to log in at all, then with both solutions you can serve anonymous use cases:

• Example for client managed
• Example for Qlik Cloud

Could you share a bit more about your specific use case?

Hello @DaveChannon ,

Let us say I have 10 internal users who will be creating reports and 100 viewers. For this, I suppose we will need 10 professionals and 100 analyzer licenses.

Now I want to embed my reports into a custom application where each user (external users) can see their share of the report.

For example, let's say in the e-commerce business, Each user needs to have access to their share of data for visuals (Number of items they have bought and maybe other visuals) which needs to be different for each user as per their data.

[DaveChannon]

Great - the way that most customers do this is to use the portal to provide the authentication. So the user logs in, the web app passes their account number, or name, or something identifiable in the dataset in the app to Qlik, Qlik logs them in (usually using JWT for Qlik Cloud, or ticketing for client-managed, so the customer doesn't log in twice), and one of three things happen:

1. They see a dedicated copy of an app made just for them
2. They see a shared app, which is filtered using section access
3. An app is generated on the fly for them, using session apps

I'd strongly recommend contacting the sales team, as our presales team can help you understand exactly what you need to do to achieve one of these solutions.
