Edit Shared Apps

[Anonymous]

Hello

The admin created an app on Qlik Sense and would like to share it with the other users, so that the users be able to edit it ie access the data load editor and the sheets editing without creating duplicates. Is there a way for this?

Thanks.

Hi Assaad,

That's not possible, since the published apps are the "final" version so to speak.

That's how Qlik understands the flow of development (and approvals) in apps should be, and how it was constructed in a sense of giving some governance over whats being distributed and published.

For you to edit the published apps, it is only doable by duplicating the app to your "Hub" and doing the development,

Even if your an admin, you can't change the published app, you would have to change to which the admin has ownership and then publish it anyways.

Thank you Felip that sounds clear

I think they must develop a way; security should not come at the cost of practicality...

Assaad - we did this in 2 different ways.  First - we created a rule that would allow read/update access to unpublished apps, thus allowing multiple users to see the App in their MY WORK stream.

Second - we created a rule that will allow Owner of a resource or owner of resource.app, to update the resource.  The we can change the owner of a published app to allow that individual user to edit it while it is published to others.

I see that as a security feature that you can't edit whatever you want and put it into the production environment (the whole point of having a production site, not being able to make changes in applications and other things directly).

If you don't need to change things that are already developed in the published app, you can create a new sheet and publish it Assaad, without publishing a new app.
