Reload Tasks

[reshma_km]

Hi,

I need to enable a Qliksense developer to schedule Reload tasks in QMC. Could you please guide me how to achieve this? I tried creating a security rule, but it is not working for me.

Can you duplicate the ContentAdmin role, and then restrict it to a stream?

[reshma_km]

I tried that. I duplicated and I added the below code to advanced section in addition to the content admin code.

and (resource.resourcetype="Stream" and resource.name="StreamName").

But then, though it got filtered based on stream, some other things are not working. Like custom properties, tasks etc.

Because the Boolean logic of the rules is hard to understand, I created multiple rules.

Create Task:

Resource Filter: ReloadTask*,SchemaEvent*,CompositeEvent*

Actions: Create

Conditions:

user.roles="StreamAdmin" and user.@usertype="Developer"

Reload Task:

Resource Filter: ReloadTask*,SchemaEvent*,CompositeEvent*

Actions: Read, Update, Delete

Conditions:

user.roles="StreamAdmin" and

resource.app.owner.name = user.name and

user.@usertype="Developer"

App:

Resource Filter: Read

Conditions:

user.roles="StreamAdmin" and user.@usertype="Developer"  and (resource.owner.name = user.name or resource.App.HasPrivilege("read"))

The HasPrivilege lets our users schedule apps that they see in shared streams.

For App:

what should be the rersource filter? App_* is enough?

These rules are only set for the QMC.  In my instance, to allow the user to see the applications the resource filter was App* not App_*.

The create task rule should turn on the "Create" button, but not show any tasks.

The reload task rule should let the user read, update and delete tasks that are related to apps that they own.

Yes. It is working as expected. But a small problem is there. I am not able to create any trigger for scheduling tasks. Even if I create, it is not there the next time I open the task. I tried modifying the read-update-delete task to include the code below:

((user.roles="StreamAdminA" and resource.app.owner.name=user.name and user.@usertype="Developer" and (resource.resourcetype="ReloadTask" or resource.resourcetype="SchemaEvent" or resource.resourcetype="CompositeEvent")))

I modified the create task too. But it doesn't work.

[jwjackso]

In the reload task rule, try:

Condition: ((user.roles="StreamAdminA" and resource.app.owner.name=user.name and user.@usertype="Developer" ))

The resource filter:  ReloadTask*,SchemaEvent*,CompositeEvent* should limit the part that I removed from the conditions.

Actions should be read, update and delete.

[reshma_km]

I did that. As you said, The create task rule turned on the "Create" button, but not show any tasks.

The reload task rule let the user read, update and delete tasks that are related to apps that they own.

The problem here is, the user can't create any triggers in the reload task.

[jwjackso]

I went back and reviewed my test user and with the rules that you  have, it was able to create tasks with once and daily triggers.

Do you get an error when you create a trigger, an error when you try to save the task or are you missing the options to create the triggers.

Also, you should be able to create a task from the task menu and app menu (more options).  Do you get errors from both of these methods?

[reshma_km]

I was trying from Task menu. I am able to create a trigger, but it vanishes as soon as I hit "apply" and when I open the task again I don't see it. I tried from App menu, create new reload task is disabled/grayed out.
