Root Admin - No Access Pass Error | License Not Assigned

Hi Qlik Community,

We are facing a critical access issue in our Qlik Sense Enterprise environment and would appreciate any help or guidance.

Issue Summary:

Our Root Admin account, which is also the service account used to run all Qlik Services (via "Log on as a service" on the Qlik Sense VM), is unable to access any published dashboards or License Monitor or Operation Monitor Dashboards in the Hub.

The error displayed is:

"No Access Pass"

📌 Observations:

  • The Root Admin user is not assigned a Professional or Analyzer license.

  • This is causing a complete block from accessing the Qlik Hub and published apps.

  • All Qlik services (Repository, Proxy, Engine, Scheduler, etc.) are up and running.

  • User Directory Sync has completed successfully.

🔍 Suspected Root Cause:

The Root Admin account, while having full QMC access, require a user license (Professional/Analyzer) to view the published dashboard even monitoring app such as License and Operation Monitor? 
 
Please suggest!

Yes, this is expected behaviour.  You do need to assign it a license.  Permissions and roles control authorisation, but not entitlements. you don't need a license to perform QMC functions, but to use apps (even the monitoring apps) you will.
