Introducing ‘Custom Groups’ to Qlik Cloud Analytics!

[QlikProductUpdates]

Simplified User and Group Management with Custom Groups

[QlikProductUpdates]

Managing users and groups just got easier. With our new Custom Groups capability, you now have more flexibility and control to handle user and group relationships directly in Qlik Cloud, without needing to rely on an Identity Provider (IdP).

What’s New?

• Manage directly in Qlik Cloud

No more back and forth with external systems. Now, you can manage users and their group memberships directly in Qlik Cloud. Everything is in one place for easy access control.

• Create smoother group-based provisioning

Assign users to groups in just a few clicks. Control both administrative access and feature permissions without hassle.

• Made for your organization

Custom Groups adapts to your unique structure, making access management easier and more aligned with the way your organization works.

Use cases:

• Public Sector flexibility

Manage group memberships within Qlik Cloud and simplify integrations with third-party apps, without depending on IdP-provided groups.

• Enterprise autonomy

Gain full control over user and group assignments, without being tied to Active Directory or other IdP systems. Adapt faster to changing needs.

Key Benefits:

• More control over user roles and permissions
• Less dependence on external systems
• Better fit for your organization's needs

Custom Groups makes managing access in Qlik Cloud simple and efficient, no matter the size or type of your organization. It saves you time, reduces complexity, and gives you full control over how users and groups are managed.

Can we address custom groups on section access in an app load script in the same way we address Idp groups ?

AFAIK not yet, but on the roadmap !

Good news. 
Is it possible to add users to a group using automation? I can't find any related automation block for this. And I can't find the right API method for RAW API request.

Hi,

Great news!

It doesn't seem possible to add future users (who have not yet connected to the tenant).
Is this planned?

Thanks

@korsikov , I was able to add users to a custom group with this endpoint:

https://qlik.dev/apis/rest/users/#patch-v1-users-userId

You can use a payload like this to update the groups to which the user is assigned:

    payload = [
        {
            "op": "replace",
            "path": "/assignedGroups",
            "value": {
                      "name": group_name, 
                      "providerType": "custom"}
        }
    ]

I tried the "add" op, but that didn't work. You have to use the "replace" op and define the entire set of groups each time you use the patch.

@blartyV  Thanks for tip. 
I'm can do this in Postman, 

But can't reproduce in Raw API request with error  { "response": { "status": 500, "body": { "message": "Server Error" } }, "external error": false }

[korsikov]

My request. 

[makunii]

Hello 

Is it possible to delete the groups that come from managed iDP without to use Qlik-CLI? Because, I deleted the group from my iDP, but it still on the Qlik Cloud.

Thanks

Marco
