Error 403 Forbidden (empty response) when copying app from managed space to personal space - Qlik Cloud

kirawan01 — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 10:45:26 GMT

My team has been following this article https://community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support-Articles/Qlik-Sense-Enterprise-SaaS-Unpublish-an-app-with-the-REST-API/ta-p/1761101 to move app from a managed space to personal space with Qlik CLI. They managed to set up the context and change the owner, but when executing step #2 to move app to the owner's personal space, the 403 error comes up.

They have all the admin roles in Qlik Cloud except for tenant admin and they have full permission on the managed space. I wonder which permission I have missed?

Thanks
Karen

Hey Karen,

Please try unpublishing the app first and try again. This should hopefully fix it.

Hi Chirantha, that was the intention.
We followed the above mentioned article to unpublish app from the managed space but got stuck here:

qlik app space update APPID

What is the required permission/role to run this command? We shouldn't have to give tenant admin role to all devs.

Thanks.

Hi @kirawan01 ,

does the issue also happen when moving the app to a different space, using

qlik app space update APPID --spaceId SPACEID

In this case it could be a Shared space, for instance.

Yes this also happens when moving app from managed space to shared space. Same error.

Only Tenant Admins can move Apps from Managed Spaces
