API key

Qlik announced changes to the permissions for creating API keys: Developer Role deprecated (2025-06-16)
The assignment of the new api key creation permission is mandatory to continue using the Data+ Backend with Qlik Cloud. Old Api keys may cease working when the Developer role is removed!

An API key for your Qlik Cloud is required to allow the following functionality of the Data+ Backend:

Create a Content Security Policy for the Data+ Server
Install/Update extensions
Load users and groups
Start App reloads (The API key user requires access for the space of the app as well)

A tutorial on how to create these can be found here .

The user creating the API key must retain admin permissions also after the key is created. Some actions may not work if the roles are changed after the key is created.
