Custom Groups

Share this message

We’re thrilled to introduce Custom Groups, a powerful new capability designed to give enterprise customers greater flexibility and control over user and group management.

With Custom Groups, organizations that do not rely on Identity Provider (IdP) groups for access control can now create and maintain user-to-group relationships directly in Qlik Cloud. This enables seamless group-based provisioning for both administrative access and product feature controls.

Use cases solved:

  • Public Sector Flexibility: Manage group memberships within Qlik Cloud to streamline resource access without relying on IdP-provided groups, simplifying integration with third-party applications.

  • Enterprise Autonomy: Gain full control over user and group assignments without being tied to IT-managed Active Directory groups, empowering teams to adapt quickly to evolving needs.

  • Embedded Analytics: With qlik-embed and OAuth2 Machine-to-Machine impersonation, use Custom Groups to handle user group membership using only REST APIs and the qlik-api framework, reducing complexity.

Custom Groups offer enhanced usability and autonomy, making access management easier and more aligned with your unique organizational structure.
