Delete Qlik Cloud licenses using the REST connector

[Francisco_Fernandez]

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:

1. 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"
   
   
   
   
2. Introduce the connection details.
   
   URL:
   https://your-tenant.region.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/licenses/assignments/actions/delete
   
   
   Method:
   Post
   
   Request body:
   {"delete":[{"type":"","subject":""}]}
   
   Query headers:
   Authorization 
   Bearer API KEY
   
   See fig 2.
   
   

    

3. Create an app and add the following script: 
   

   
   //
   //How to DELETE 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|f627a4e1ac7b8f - place your subject IDP here';
   let vRequestBody ='{';
   Let vRequestBody = vRequestBody&'"delete":[{';
   //type of license to be deleted, 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%2Fdelete-...
   LIB CONNECT TO 'licensesassignmentsactionsdelete';

   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 deletion is based on the subject IDP. That information can be retrieved manually using the management console or using the API for users.
