Section Access Denied Users - No "Access Denied" Message

[#1]

Hi,

We've implemented Section Access in one of our apps and it's working, but denied users are not receiving an "Access Denied" message.

Do we need to enable something on the QMC or add anything to the script?

Also, can we customize the error message?

Thanks,

Ben

On my system I have seen an Access Denied message when try to open the App.  There is no other setting and I don't think you can change it.

Are you certain that it is working?

What happens?

Hi Mark,

Section Access is working and reducing data correctly for users that are assigned access to the app.

For users that do not have access (aren't included in the Section Access table at all) they do not receive an "Access Denied" message. When "denied" users open the app, the Qlik bubbles keep popping up without an error message and the app doesn't open.

This is OK because the "denied" users can't access the app, BUT users will not know that the app isn't opening because they don't have access and when the app is "hung up" it's maxing out memory usage on the server.

Thanks,

Ben

UPDATE:

I'm still experiencing this issue on our Qlik Sense server.

To test, I create a very simple app with section access as follows:

Section Access;

LOAD

    UPPER("ACCESS") as ACCESS,

    UPPER("USERID") as USERID,

    UPPER(LCO) as LCO

    INLINE [

ACCESS, USERID, LCO

ADMIN, AA\ADMIN1, *

USER,    AA\USER01, B

USER,    AA\USER01,  C

USER,    AA\USER01,  D

USER,    AA\USER01,  E

USER,    AA\USER01,  F

USER,    AA\USER01,  G

USER,    AA\USER01,  H

USER,    AA\USER01,  I

USER,    AA\USER01,  A

USER,    AA\USER01,  J

USER,    AA\USER01,  K

USER,    AA\USER01,  L

USER,    AA\USER01,  M

ADMIN, AA\ADMIN2,            *

ADMIN, INTERNAL\sa_scheduler, *

];

SECTION APPLICATION;

LOAD

    UPPER(LCO) as LCO,

    Score

    INLINE [

    LCO,  Score

A,    1

B,    2

C,  3

D,    4

E,    5

F, 6

G, 7

H, 8

I,  9

J, 10

K,      11

L,  12

M,      13

];

Again, section access is working correctly, BUT when an unauthorized user tries to open the app they are not receiving an "Access Denied" message, the Qlik bubbles keep popping like the app is loading (but it never loads).

Thanks,

Ben
