Ownership of automation

random_user_3869 — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 10:45:26 GMT

Hello everyone,

Is it possible to assign an automation to a group (group created using an AD from identity provider) inster of just an user id ?

What would be the best practise regarding that.

Aside from that Is there a way to move away the automation from the personal space ?

Or maybe the best way to do that would be to create a service ID user account and to allocate the automation to that account ?

Thank you

Hi @random_user_3869 ,

at the moment it's currently not possible to assign an automation to a group or move it to a shared space.

However, we have changes coming in future versions around this area, so stay tuned.

As for creating a "service" account just for owning automations, I guess that should be fine as long as your company's policies allow for such types of accounts.

As always, administration tasks, simpler in any other tool, are basically impossible in qlik sense. It has not evolved at all since it appeared on the market.

Hi @Luismap77 ,

most of our customers can administer Qlik Sense without any particular problem. Do you have any issue that you need to address?

without any particular problem? Do you see the questions? Can you see how many questions go nowhere?
Just because users don't complain openly, doesn't mean it works well.

Hi @Luismap77 ,
I see the questions. If the product didn't "work well" or administration was "impossible" I am sure we would lose more customers than we are gaining.
