# Qlik Sense

OvalEdge provides a Qlik Sense connector that supports integration with both **on-premises and cloud deployments** of Qlik Sense. The connector enables metadata extraction, report structure visibility, and lineage tracking for Qlik Sense assets across supported environments.

### **Connector Configuration Steps**

Users are required to have the **Connector Creator Role** in order to configure a new connection.

Log into the OvalEdge application, navigate to **Administration > Connectors**, click **+ (New Connector)**, and search for **Qlik Sense**.

In the **Type of Server** field, select one of the following options from the dropdown:

* [**QliksenseOnPrem**](https://docs.ovaledge.com/connectors/connector-repositories/reporting-tool/qlik-sense/qlik-sense-on-prem)
* [**QliksenseCloud**](https://docs.ovaledge.com/release8.1/connectors/connector-repositories/reporting-tool/qlik-sense/qlik-sense-cloud)

### **Configuration Overview**

The selected **Type of Server** determines the configuration flow, authentication method, and connectivity approach.

* **QliksenseOnPrem**\
  Uses REST APIs and WebSocket for connectivity. Supports Windows, JWT, cookie-based, and certificate-based authentication. Requires a service account with appropriate administrative permissions.
* **QliksenseCloud**\
  Uses REST APIs for connectivity. Authentication is performed using a Qlik Sense Cloud API key. Requires appropriate access permissions for metadata extraction.

### **Authentication and Access**

Authentication and access control depend on the selected server type and are governed by service account permissions and application-level access rights.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Configuration parameters, authentication methods, and metadata extraction behavior vary based on the selected Type of Server. Validate connectivity and permissions before enabling crawling and lineage operations.
{% endhint %}
