--- source: https://qlik.dev/manage/automate/find-orphaned-license-assignments/ last_updated: 2026-01-19T14:21:00Z --- # Find orphaned license assignments ## List assignments not on the current tenant Assignment of licenses is keyed on the user `subject`, which is a unique string provided by your Identity Provider. These assignments are handled separately from users in the tenant, since a single entitlement can support more than one Qlik Cloud tenant, or Qlik Sense Enterprise Client-managed site. As a result, the `users` API returns only users on that tenant, while `licenses/assignments` returns all global assignments to that entitlement. If you have only one tenant and want to track down assignments not linked to users, this automation snippet returns a list of them. You can also view these users in the [Qlik Cloud Management Console](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Admin/SaaS-invite-users-capacity-model.htm#anchor-3) by navigating to `Users` and selecting `Orphans` in the dropdown.
