As part of the agreement of granting a customer offline license usage, the customer is required to regularly upload User Assignment log files. This essentially replicates the user assignment data which is sent to Qlik in a manual process.
Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows
QlikView
Licensed with a long term offline license.
⚠️ FYI: All information regarding user subject (user information) is hashed using SHA256 to prevent Qlik from accessing the original data. (The information is encrypted both in transit and at rest). ⚠️

Hello @sis
All user information is encrypted at all times and no sensitive data is submitted in the sync metadata field. As for your second question, we are looking into this for you.
All the best,
Sonja
Hello @sis
To return to answering your questions:
Question: Does the Data Element "Sync metadata" contain sensitive information other than the user ID?
Answer: Sync metadata does not include any sensitive information. You can verify what is sent by decoding the message in the log in a Base64 decoder. This will show you what is sent to Qlik.
Question: Will the contents of the Data Element "Sync metadata" be encrypted in the same way as the Data Element "Signed License Key" and "Subject"?
Answer: It is not encrypted, but it does not include any sensitive information. It is base64 encoded in the log file, and you can decode it using any available base64 decoder.
All the best,
Sonja
Thanks for the answer.
Is it correct to recognize that only the following parts contain user information? Is there anything else?
・ The part called Domain / User ID where the Data Element is listed in "Subject"
・ Data Element is the "subject" part of "Sync metadata"
@sis Sync metadata does not include User information. User information is included in Subject and is hashed.
Thank you, Sonja.
Anytime!
