Introducing new permissions for Qlik Automate

[Emile_Koslowski]

This article provides details about the new permissions available for Private automations, which will replace the previous Automation Creator role.

You can assign these permissions to a custom role or the User Default. More information about creating & managing custom roles is available here.

The existing Automation Creator role will be deprecated later in 2026.

Private automations

These permissions allow users to run and create automations in their personal space.

Shared automations

Earlier in 2025, we introduced the shared automation permission that allows users to run, create, and manage automations in shared spaces in which they have the correct permissions. More information about which space roles are required for the various automation actions is available here:

• Full & Professional users
• Analyzer users

What impact will this have for Professional or Viewer users that already have automations in their personal space? Seems like they will they lose the ability to edit/run those, or even create new ones, but I am unsure about this.

Will we need to go through each user that currently has automations in their Personal spaces and assign a new Custom role that we need to create to replace the deprecated one?

Any and all clarification will be much appreciated. 🙂

not sure what to do with this

[Emile_Koslowski]

At some point in the future (which will be communicated up front) we will deprecate the existing default Private Automation role.

Before this happens, we will provide an example automation, that can be used to migrate users from that default role to a custom role.

If you have only a handful of users who are assigned the private automation role, then it will be easiest to create the custom role manually and assign it to these users.

If you have many users or complex assignments then I suggest you wait for the example automation.
