Hi All,
When I am logging in with my credentials which has ROOT Admin privilege to HUB load balanced on Central Node, I am not able to view the Work Area Section. But when I am logging in as the same ROOT Admin to HUB load balanced on DEV Node, then Work Area is visible to me.
I this what should happen that Work Area is only visible on Development Node?
But if that is the case then when I am logging in with the Service Account to HUB load balanced on Central Node I am able to see the Work Area as well. The service account also has ROOT Admin privilege then Work Area must not be visible via the service account credentials as well right on Central Node?
Please help.
Thanks & Regards,

The Work section of the Hub is intended to be the personal work space for an individual user. The Work section will show if one of two conditions are met:
So basically when NodeType=Production, the Work area will still show if the user has read rights on an unpublished app (generally determined by App ownership).
Hi,
"Work" area availability sets up in Node Purpose field - disregarding access rights (ROOT admin or whatever user)
QMC-> Node->Edit Node - >Node Purpose:
Development and Both - gives opportunity to develop applications.
Production - don't.
Most likely your central node is set to Production.
Hope this helps.

Hi Andrei,
Yes my Central Node is configured as Production and Dev Node has Node Purpose of Development. But, if Work Area visibility is dependent only upon Node Purpose configuration, disregarding access rights -
Then why is it that when logging into HUB load balanced on Central Node (with Node Purpose as Production) using the service account (which is running all our Qlik Sense services) we are able to view the Work Area?
Please help.

Could you please describe the exact problem you encountered?
Knowing that service account is more powerful that just RootAdmin helps? (which shouldn't be the case)
Or you have someone who is trying to use your central node with service account for development and you want to prevent this?

Its not a problem as such. I am just trying to know why is there such a difference?
The scenario is :
-- using any account I am able to see WORK Area and as you said it must be visible.
-- using my ROOT Admin account ---> No WORK Area visible
-- using service account which obviously has ROOT Admin privilege ---> WORK Area Visible.
Now as you said if WORK Area visibility is independent of Access Rights then why is the above scenario occurring when logging in using my ROOT Admin account and the Service Account?
Sorry, my bad... I couldn't reproduce your issue on my side as soon as I'm not using default security rules.
Check your security rules as well.
Property | Description |
---|---|
Node purpose | Use the drop-down to select which environment the node is intended for: Production, Development, or Both. |
This setting is defined in the QMC on each node that is added, and the effects are as follows:
Hope this helps.

As you can see that HubSection all areas have been allowed for all users in our security rule. Then why still me logging with my Root Admin account not able to view the WORK Area?
Please help.

Hi Levi,
Your logic is absolutely correct. Thanks a lot for that info.
But would like to know that when Node Purpose is Development then it doesnt matter whether the user has read access to apps in hub or not right? Because even when as a ROOT Admin I am not having any read access to apps, I am able to see an empty WORK Stream when load balanced to Development Node....
Please let me know.
Thanks.
Hi Levi,
As asked earlier please let me know on my below ques :
The WORK Area will show irrespective of whether I have Read access to unpublished Apps or not right? Because I am able to see empty WORK Area when Load Balanced on Development Node.
