Update user block - 403 error

lachlanwcast — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 05:31:49 GMT

Hi all,

After creating a user with QAA "Create User" Qlik Platform Operations block, we need to set the Timezone - when we try to do this we get a 403 error.

We use region OAuth credentials, which has all admin roles within the target tenant, and it seems like it has the ability to create a user, but not update an existing user.

Any idea how we can get this block to work using this account?

In our case it's an AP OAuth admin user trying to update a user it just created.

Thanks in advance!

These properties can only be updated by the user (i.e. not by an admin). For the meantime you'll need to impersonate the users to make this update, but I'll look into why we made this design choice and see whether we can relax this rule. Please feel free to open an ideation for tracking!
