The purpose of this article is to show how to assign Qlik cloud licenses using the REST Connector.
Prerequisites:
- User with Tenant admin role
- Tenant API key
Step by Step:
- Create a rest connection either using the data load editor or the data manager within an app, alternatively it can also be created from the hub by "+ add new" ➡️ "Data connection"
- Introduce the connection details.
URL:
https://your-tenant.us.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/licenses/assignments/actions/add
Method:
Post
Request body:
{"add":[{"type":"","subject":""}]}
Query headers:
Authorization
Bearer API KEY
See fig 2.Fig 2
- Create an app and add the following script:
//
//How to ADD Licenses using the rest connector
//// Subject IDP, Can be retrieved via API https://qlik.dev/apis/rest/users/#%23%2Fentries%2Fv1%2Fusers-get
LET vsubject = 'auth0|82c666044a1f359ff49dcc9ac8200';
let vRequestBody ='{';
Let vRequestBody = vRequestBody&'"add":[{';
//type of license assigned it can be "professional" or "analyzer"
Let vRequestBody = vRequestBody&'"type":"professional",';
Let vRequestBody = vRequestBody&'"subject":"$(vsubject)"';
Let vRequestBody = vRequestBody&'}]';
Let vRequestBody = vRequestBody&'}';
let vRequestBody = replace(vRequestBody,'"', chr(34)&chr(34));//Endpoint used can be found here : https://qlik.dev/apis/rest/licenses/#%23%2Fentries%2Fv1%2Flicenses%2Fassignments%2Factions%2Fadd-pos...
LIB CONNECT TO 'licensesassignmentsactionsadd';RestConnectorMasterTable:
SQL SELECT
"url",
"__KEY_root",
(SELECT
"add",
(SELECT
"type",
"subject"
FROM "add" )
FROM "data"
)
FROM JSON (wrap on) "root" PK "__KEY_root"
WITH CONNECTION(
BODY "$(vRequestBody)"
);
*Notes: The license assignment is based on the subject IDP. That information can be retrieved manually using the management console or using the API for users.
