Qlik Sense Business and Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS are two editions of Qlik Sense SaaS solutions that have different user management and licensing features.
The differences between the two editions of Qlik Sense stem from the fact that Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS allows bring-your-own-IdP (BYOIDP) which ties in with a different license and access allocation model.
The licensing, access assignment and IdP configuration distinctions are mentioned under Administering Qlik Sense along with information on how to subscribe and configure either of these two services.
If you are looking to increase seats in your tenant (add licenses), see How to add new seats on existing Qlik Sense Business Subscription.

User Management:
Assign tenant admins:
On both SaaS solutions, assigning tenant admins consists of the same steps.
- Go to the Management Console
- Go to Users
- Select the User
- Switch Edit Roles
- Assigned the user the Tenant Admin role.
Note that in Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS, it is important not to remove the account owner's Tenant Admin role. See Known limitation in Qlik Cloud Services: Account Owner should not be removed as tenant admin

Assign user access:
In order to assign user access, the user has to firstly be added either by Identity Provider (IdP) integration (only available in Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS) or by inviting the user via email which is the only method in Qlik Sense Business.
The user invitation by email method is disabled in Enterprise SaaS once an IdP is in an active state.
