Mastering Qlik Sense

Global API

Namespace: qlik.global

The Global API is, similar to the Root API, the entry method to Qlik's list of methods that can access global information of the client, such as the following:

• Getting authenticated user info
• Obtaining a list of apps
• Retrieving the progress of a reload

For example, use the following to obtain information about an authenticated user:

var global = qlik.getGlobal(config); global.getAuthenticatedUser(function(reply){     console.log('User:'+reply.qReturn); });
