OAuth M2M Impersonation

[bkilicli]

Hi,

I am trying to connect to Qlik SaaS using a method similar to Certificate Authentication in the OnPrem version.

Since Certificate Authentication uses dynamic username and user directory, applications can be accessed within user permissions.

I have done M2M authentication with OAuth in Qlik SaaS, but the applications are accessed by a fixed user that is automatically created by the system. When I send a sample request as in qlik.dev link. I get the error "M2M impersonation is not enabled for this tenant.

Is there any way to do M2M impersonation in Qlik SaaS or any other way to do it, I cannot find anything about it.

Hey @bkilicli this is not possible at the moment, but I know that M2M impersonation is in the roadmap. @Jeffrey_Goldberg can you add something here please?

Hi, @alex_colombo,

Thank you for your reply, I guess I have no choice but to wait.
