Create a Qlik connection to an Edge site

November 6, 2026

Tip You can set up this integration in the unified integrations experience (in preview). This feature is in public preview and applies to metadata, AI, SAP, and lineage integrations. In one guided flow, you select an Edge site, create the connection, add the integration, and configure it. To get started, in the banner on the Integration configuration tab, click Try the new Integrations page. For more information, go to About the unified integrations experience (in preview).

To retrieve data from Qlik, you have to connect to Qlik via the Edge or Collibra Cloud site.

Prerequisites

• You have a global role with the Product Rights > System administration global permission.
• You have a global role that has the Manage Edge sites global permission.
• You have a global role that has the Manage connections and capabilities global permission.
• You have a resource role with the Configure external system resource permission, for example, Owner.
If you want to add connection values from a vault, you have added the vault to your Edge site. If your data source connection requires a file from your vault, the file must be encoded into Base64 and stored as a regular secret in your vault. For more information, go to the Vault documentation.
Note  Vaults are not supported on Collibra Cloud sites.
