New tenant deletion API endpoints for multitenant entitlements

Tenants are the highest level of logical separation in Qlik Cloud available to Qlik customers. When using a multitenant entitlement, you can now programatically delete tenants via API.

If you are a customer with a single tenant entitlement, contact Qlik for assistance with deleting your tenant.

The most common use case for tenant deletion is in an OEM context where you create a tenant per end customer and need to offboard customers and delete their tenant as their contracts with you come to an end. To learn more the lifecycle of OEM in Qlik Cloud, review the Platform Operations tutorial series.

Important! Deleting a tenant is a permanent action. Neither you nor Qlik can restore data from the tenant after it has been purged from Qlik Cloud. Use this capability with caution.

Deactivate & reactivate a tenant

To deactivate a tenant and schedule it for deletion in 15 days, send this request:

curl -L "https://register.eu.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/tenants/TENANT_ID/actions/deactivate" ^
-H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN" ^
-H "qlik-confirm-hostname: my-tenant.eu.qlikcloud.com" ^
-H "Content-Type: application/json" ^
-H "Accept: application/json"
-d "{\"purgeAfterDays\": 15}"

This response indicates that the tenant is in a deactivated state:

{
    "id": "zWbTyyJ5lzYLnm9taTD49ja4JVdNKBUM",
    "status": "disabled",
    "estimatedPurgeDate": "2023-07-30T14:01:22.000Z"
}

To reactivate a tenant before the estimated purge date, send this request:

curl -L "https://register.eu.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/tenants/TENANT_ID/actions/reactivate" ^
-H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN" ^
-H "qlik-confirm-hostname: my-tenant.eu.qlikcloud.com" ^
-H "Content-Type: application/json" ^
-H "Accept: application/json"

This response indicates that the tenant is in an activated state:

{
    "id": "zWbTyyJ5lzYLnm9taTD49ja4JVdNKBUM",

}
