Qliksense Security Rules for App and Sheet Level

suresh_qv50 — Mon, 22 Aug 2016 10:41:56 GMT

Hi,

Am new to qliksense and am not aware of security rules in App level.

We have 2 Streams --->1. Af and 2.RD

both stream have 4 Apps, 1 app needs to hide for all users except 1 user in both streams.

Please give me idea on security rules, or suggest me any document which will describes the same functionality.

Thanks&Regards

QS does not (unfortunately) support App/Users specific security rules... Stream-based only.

So, as long the user has access to the stream, he/she will see all apps there...

You can block this specific user from opening the specific app (Using Section Access), but that's it.

The only suggestion (until the limitation above will be resolved): create multiple streams and publish different apps there....

Regards,

Vlad

Hi Suresh,

If you can make use of custom properties and write security rules based on the values of these custom properties you will be able to address most of the issues around security and Access controlling.

Thanks,

Hello Sangram,

Can you give details on how to show only certain apps to a user if they have access to a stream? Can you show us the rule syntax? Vlad states that this can not be done. You imply that it can and I haven't tried yet. I know my users are interested in doing this.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

Yes you can.

here replace the app_ with App_<GUID> and specify a condition.

Thanks,

Sangram

Hi Sangram,

We are using custom properties to manage streams in qliksense, We successfully restricted the Streams for users, when i tried for app & Sheet restriction for a user we face some issues mentioned below.

1. While trying app restriction, the app was successfully restricted, But the sheets for all app are not appear for all users.

2. Am not sure how to restrict the sheets in an app.

Please provide the security rules for these.

Thank you

Regards

HI Sangram,

I tried creating security rules and custom properties using the same video mentioned by Steve however its not working in my case. Say, I have 3 users and 3 streams and these users have access to these 3 streams.

user1 - IT

user2 - HR

user3- Finance

Now , I want user4 who is executive should have access to "finance" stream with additional visibility on 1 more dashboards. i.e. user4- Finance & Finance executive dashboards.

any idea?

Hi,

goto --Qmc---Apps----select your app --doubleclik----and open the assosiative rules for the perticular user and disable the Read option to that user

Hi, I hope this will help, to take the last steps for success.

We have rules for streams, and apps for different groups, that works fine.

Now we created a sheet, which should be visible for 1 Group. (this works too, if we select 1 User)

We created a rule for app objects and it looks like this:

!! The Group "QSENSE_Advanced" needs access to the Stream & the App before.!!

Hi Rohit ,

I am trying to implement application level security ,

I have gone through this link.

Sheet or App Object Level Security Qlik Sense

but i am not able to achieve my purpose.

I have created the stream Global and published two applications App A and App B.Restricted user to App A, in that case i am not able to see both the apps in the stream.I followed till 9th step in the Link.

can you suggest me to resolve this.

rohitk1609 — Tue, 09 Jan 2018 06:14:56 GMT

Hi Susasini,

Thanks for reaching to me!

If you followed steps till 9, I believe you have created one stream GLOBAL and created two custom properties , StreamUser(Stream and User resource type) and AppUser(Apps and User resource type).then you disabled STREAM rule after that you published both the apps to stream GLOBAL , now its on how you apply custom properties to stream ,apps and users. If you apply AppUser custom property lets say you have given value App1 and App2 in AppUser custom property, so if you apply both AppUser values to any user he would see both of the apps in stream or if you apply only one value then same app you will see. Keep in mind, when you apply custom property apply for both resource type.

Please mark my comment helpful if it has answered your question

Hi Rohit,

Thank you,

I have applied AppUser Property as User should see only App1.

PFA for the same.

After doing this,the particular user able to see app1,but after applying

the AppLevel rule the user not able to see App1.

Please Check the PFA and let me know if any steps are missing.

Thanks and Regards

Re: Qliksense Security Rules for App and Sheet Level

suhasinigm — Thu, 11 Jan 2018 05:48:49 GMT

Hi Rohit,

Thank You,

For AppUser Property I have used both App and User while creating the custom property,have applied the value to both user and application.

I can only see App,not able to see the sheets in the app.

Hi Sangram,

as per your suggestion.

if i will use the APP_<guid> , will work for an individual app.

without hampering other apps and rule.

as per my scenerio .

we have a 1 stream and 2 apps.

LIke Stream 1

and App1 and App2.

i don't want that certain group can't access and see the App2.

but while following Stephen suggestion. it's hampering the other functionality for other apps.

we have other streams and app also, which access and develop by other teams.

hence i just want, the rule should apply for App2 and do not change any conditions in other apps and stream.

please suggest.
