Qlik Root Admin Role Restriction

[Rolando_Montero]

Hi guys,

I would like to have a root admin that can do everything in the QMC but I need to take out the ability to assign a Qlik license to itself. The administrator will be able to assign licenses to everybody but itself. I'm assuming that through the use of security rules you can achieve this, correct me if I'm mistaken.

Best regards

Hello! 

This is correct, you can create a new role in Qlik Sense with security rules by just adding the condition ((user.roles="Your_role_name "))

In terms of how to set it up, I think you can take a look at the existing rule for the roles "Deployment Admin", "Security Admin" and "Content Admin". This should be a combination of these three. 

Note that there is about 3 security rules per mentioned roles above so you may want to follow the same structure of your new role.

Hope this helps!
