Can an automation use a OAuth M2M user?

Hi,

We have, to enable higher-powers within Qlik CLI, created a OAuth M2M client which in turn automatically created a Qlik User with the OAuth's name.

Now, that user when used as the 'Context' in Qlik CLI works perfectly even for bulk changes, but we're now starting to consider "bigger" bulk changes so, does anyone know if it is possible (and if so, how) to use that user i.e. authenticate as the OAuth user in an Automation to make bulk changes like for example move private apps, sheets, etc from one (disabled) user to another?

Thank you.

You can use 'Qlik Platform Operations'  blocks for OAuth authentication. However, that will still not give you what you are looking for. The private objects extraction is still not possible from automation. Still, there is a good news that Qlik is about to release REST api for the same. Please refer the below thread and read Dave's comment on the same.
