Embed Qlik Sense SaaS Sheet on internal website

[wcilliers]

Hi All,

We want to present a Qlik sheet with some stats to a few select users on our website. Ideally, we do not want them to login. Is is possible to allow anonymous access and still have users make selections and view the sheet without it affecting other users?

A similar example of what we want to achieve is almost like accessing the Qlik Demo website. Where a user can view an app / sheet without having to login. 

How do I achieve this?

Thanks,

Wynand

As far as I know, you can only achieve anonymous, no-sign-in access to Qlik Cloud if you use JWT as your tenant IdP type. There are several additional things to consider here:

• If you don't already use JWT, you must consider the risks/assumptions involved in that switch, as outlined in this Qlik Support article.
• You can have multiple IdPs set up, but only one can be active. So unless you're all in on using JWT, you'd be out of luck. That is discussed in this Qlik Support article.
  • There is an active post in the Ideas forum in the Qlik Community that requests the ability to use multiple IdPs at once.
• If you currently use JWT or are willing to take the plunge, keep in mind that you'll have to use an external function tool or service to achieve the no-sign-in setup. Qlik's how-to page for this whole process uses AWS Lambda in their example (see item 2 in the below list of links). Their example also involves using some Python code.

If undeterred by the above points, then the setup can be found in the below links:

• Set up JWT as the tenant IdP type (qlik.dev article)
• Set up anonymous access using JWT (qlik.dev article)

Are there any other ways to achieve this?

Ehhhh... I don't think so, at least not while using only Qlik Cloud. You could achieve this by installing Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows on a single server, buying core-based licensing (Qlik Help page >> "Core-based site") or Analyzer Capacity licensing (Qlik Help page >> "Analyzer Capacity license"), and then hosting public-facing apps from there.
