Deprecation of the Qlik Cloud In-Application Reporting setting April 28th, 2026

[Sonja_Bauernfeind]

In October 2025, Qlik provided more advanced controls for user access to the Reporting capabilities. See Setting permissions for metered reporting features.

This added the ability to allow or disallow report generation in the User Defaults and Custom Roles.

In an ongoing effort to streamline your experience, the following will now be deprecated:

• The old global In-application reporting (C) setting, found in the Administration section > Settings (A) > Email and reports tab (B) 
  
  

  As of March 9th, 2026: If in-application reporting was toggled to On in the UI, it is now disabled. Instead, use the permission scopes to control the behavior.

• The associated API. 
  
  See the related developer changelog for the API change at Deprecation - Reporting template subscription toggle in the Sharing tasks API.

When will the old setting be deprecated?

What do I need to do to prepare?

It is advised that Tenant Admins complete a quick review of the User Default settings to confirm the desired reporting controls are in place.

1. Go to the Administration section
2. Open Manage users
3. Go to User Defaults
4. Expand Content types and locate Generate all reports
5. Set to Allowed, On-demand reports, or Not allowed
   
   
   

Alternatively, run the automation available in Automation to check if generating reports is enabled in your Qlik Cloud tenant and modify the state (direct download link) as a Tenant Admin:

1. Upload the automation to the workspace, then run it
2. At this stage, it will check if the toggle is set to Off and if the default reporting user permissions are still available (e.g., removal of the toggle would expand upon the existing user roles)
3. If this state is identified, a button can be selected to modify the User Default setting

The automation is not a comprehensive assessment of the permissions and is not a replacement for Tenant Admin’s confirming correct user permissions. If you choose to use the automation, always verify any changes post execution in the Administration Center.
