Automatically creating NPrinting users from Qlik user list (NPrinting February 2024) — is it possible?

[random_user_3869]

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a way to automatically create NPrinting users based on the list of users that already exists in Qlik (Qlik Sense or QlikView).
My goal is to:

• automatically register these users in NPrinting
• automatically assign them a security role
• avoid manual creation in the NPrinting console

I know that NPrinting provides REST APIs, and I shared this reference with my admins:
https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/June2018/APIs/NP+API/index.html?page=50

However, we haven’t been able to make it work so far.

The environment runs on Qlik NPrinting February 2024.

My questions are:

1. Is it possible to automatically create and manage NPrinting users using the API in more recent versions like February 2024?
2. If yes, do you have a working example (API endpoint, payload, authentication) to create a user and assign a security role?
3. If no, is there any recommended workaround for syncing Qlik users to NPrinting?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi @random_user_3869 ,

you can use Nprinting Import Tasks. This way create users automatically.

I hope it works.

I totally agree with @yunus_emre

If data is stored in the app i first build nprinting excel template which creates a file for me having all the users, filters and groups i need. 

otherwise if you want to use API i wrote whole bunch of subroutines. There are some handling users management:

Hi, 

You can create a group in Active Directory (e.g., NPUsers) and add all users to this group. If you define a role with the same name in NPrinting (it can be a copy of the Default User role), the role assignment will be done automatically.
