What is Service Account ?

[Purushothaman]

Hi @Sonja_Bauernfeind  @Andre_Sostizzo 

Based on the below article, what does Service account mean? What if logged in using my own Qlik sense credentials?

Hello @Purushothaman 

Service account here in this context means the account starting the qlik sense services e.g. qlik sense repository service.

Where do you want to logon with your own user?

If you want to change the account for the data connection you need to edit the monitor_apps_REST_*  connections in the qmc.

Best regards

Sebastian

The service account is the user, which runs the services on the machine.
