Find Users Removed Externally in Qlik Cloud

Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows has a feature in the management console which identifies users that have been removed from Active Directory because they are no longer at the company. However, Qlik Cloud doesn't seem to have this feature. How can I identify users who are no longer with the company so that I can free up the license for someone else to use?

@chadwatson,

What you are asking is tricky because Qlik Saas does not have an equivalent of the User Directory Connector that makes the information you are looking for easily accessible. I have a couple of pieces of advice for getting this info.

  1. The user information stored in Qlik Saas is updated whenever the user logs into the system. 
  2. You can access the user list from Qlik Saas using the REST connector to access the Qlik API 
  3. You are going to have to figure out how to query the current user status in your identity provider. Depending on what you are using you may need to set up gateways or the QDTU to get the data into saas.
  4. Once you have both data sources putting together the appropriate report would be pretty simple.

Which connector could I use to pull data from an on-premises Active Directory server? We have a data gateway configured. On prem I use OLE DB, but there is no OLE DB connection for data gateway.
