# Qlik Sense API Integration on Truto



**Category:** Analytics  
**Status:** Generally available

## Unified APIs

### Unified User Directory API

- **Groups** — Groups are a collection of users in the source application. In some applications, they might also be called Teams.
- **Licenses** — Licenses represent concepts like user seats in apps that support them
- **Roles** — The Role object represents a role of a User.
- **Users** — The User object represents a User.

## How it works

1. **Link your customer's Qlik Sense account.** Use Truto's frontend SDK; we handle every OAuth and API key flow so you don't need to create the OAuth app.
2. **Authentication is automatic.** Truto refreshes tokens, stores credentials securely, and injects them into every API request.
3. **Call Truto's API to reach Qlik Sense.** The Proxy API is a 1-to-1 mapping of the Qlik Sense API.
4. **Get a unified response format.** Every response uses a single shape, with cursor-based pagination and data in the `result` field.

## Use cases

- **Automated User Provisioning for Embedded Analytics** — SaaS companies embedding Qlik Sense dashboards need to keep their user base in sync. By integrating via Truto's Unified User Directory API, they can automatically create, update, and deactivate Qlik Sense users whenever changes happen in their own app — no manual admin work required.
- **License Management Tied to Product Tiers** — B2B platforms offering analytics as a premium feature need to programmatically assign and revoke Qlik licenses (e.g., Analyzer vs. Professional) based on their customers' subscription plans. This integration ensures license allocation stays in sync with billing and entitlement logic.
- **Role-Based Access Control Mirroring** — SaaS products with their own RBAC systems need to replicate permission structures inside Qlik Sense so embedded dashboards respect the same access boundaries. Syncing groups and roles through a unified API eliminates the need to build and maintain custom mapping logic against Qlik's native APIs.
- **Multi-Tenant Onboarding with Scoped User Access** — When a SaaS platform onboards a new customer, it needs to provision a set of users, assign them to the correct group, and grant appropriate roles — all within a securely siloed Qlik environment. Automating this through Truto reduces onboarding time from hours to seconds.
- **Compliance and Audit-Ready Identity Sync** — Enterprises in regulated industries require proof that analytics access is tightly governed. SaaS companies can use the integration to continuously reconcile their user directory with Qlik Sense, ensuring no orphaned accounts or unauthorized license assignments exist.

## What you can build

- **One-Click Qlik Sense User Provisioning** — Automatically create and deactivate Qlik Sense user accounts whenever users are added or removed in your application, using Truto's Unified User Directory API.
- **Automated License Allocation Engine** — Map your product's subscription tiers to Qlik license types and programmatically assign or revoke licenses as customers upgrade, downgrade, or churn.
- **Group & Role Sync for Row-Level Security** — Mirror your app's permission groups and roles into Qlik Sense so embedded dashboards automatically enforce the correct data visibility for every user.
- **Self-Serve Analytics Connection Flow** — Let your end users connect their own Qlik Sense accounts through a guided OAuth flow managed by Truto, without your team handling tokens or credential storage.
- **User Directory Audit Dashboard** — Build an admin view that compares your app's user directory against Qlik Sense in real time, flagging mismatches in roles, group memberships, or license assignments.
- **Bulk Tenant User Import on Customer Onboarding** — When a new customer signs up, batch-provision all their team members into Qlik Sense with the right groups, roles, and licenses in a single automated workflow.

## FAQs

### What Unified APIs does Truto support for Qlik Sense?

Truto maps Qlik Sense to the Unified User Directory API, which covers Users, Groups, Roles, and Licenses. This lets you manage identity and access provisioning through a standardized interface rather than building directly against Qlik's REST APIs.

### Are there pre-built Truto tools for Qlik Sense?

There are no pre-built tools available yet. Truto builds tools for Qlik Sense on request, so you can reach out with your specific requirements and the team will scope and deliver them.

### How does authentication work for Qlik Sense through Truto?

Truto handles the authentication flow with your end users' Qlik Sense tenants. Your team does not need to manage OAuth tokens, API keys, or credential refresh logic — Truto abstracts this entirely so your end users can connect their accounts through a managed auth flow.

### Does Truto handle pagination and rate limits for Qlik Sense APIs?

Yes. Truto manages pagination and respects Qlik Sense API rate limits automatically, so your integration code doesn't need to implement retry logic or cursor management.

### Can I sync both cloud and on-premise Qlik Sense deployments?

Qlik Sense supports both cloud (SaaS) and on-premise (Enterprise on Windows) deployments with different API surfaces. Contact Truto to discuss your specific deployment scenario and supported connectivity options.

### What user directory operations are supported?

Through the Unified User Directory API, you can work with Users, Groups, Roles, and Licenses in Qlik Sense. This covers common provisioning workflows like creating users, assigning them to groups, setting roles, and managing license entitlements.
