Qlik has announced the removal of the deprecated Developer role and Enable API keys toggle in Qlik Cloud, expected to take effect by the end of 2025.
Since Mail & Deploy for Qlik Cloud relies on API keys for secure data access and report generation, this change may affect your Mail & Deploy connection if the necessary permissions are not updated in time.
What’s changing
The following items, deprecated in June 2025, will soon be removed:
- Developer role
- Enable API keys toggle
Once removed, users without updated permissions will:
- Be unable to access the API key interface in Profile > Settings
- Have their existing API keys disabled – causing 3rd-party integrations like Mail & Deploy to fail
What you need to do
To ensure uninterrupted Mail & Deploy functionality, your Qlik Cloud Tenant Administrator must:
- Create a custom role with the permission “Manage API Keys” = Allowed
2. Assign this role to all users who previously had the Developer role
3. Remove the deprecated role once migration is complete

Important
If these steps are not taken, Mail & Deploy will be unable to connect to your Qlik Cloud tenant once the removal is enforced. API keys will be re-enabled automatically after the correct permissions are applied.
