Exception Management - Problem with Security Rule Conditions

Hi,

I followed this video about setting "Exception Management" (starting from: 9:27) :

After I followed (implemented) everything the author of the video did, it works (now I can hide applications that are "sensitive" and I can allow specific users to access them) but there is the following problem: All applications are empty, there are no sheets.

The problem seems to be in Security Rule / Conditions:

(resource.resourcetype = "App" and resource.stream.HasPrivilege("read") and resource.@AppLevelMgmt.empty()) or ((resource.resourcetype = "App.Object" and resource.published ="true" and resource.objectType != "app_appscript" and resource.objectType != "loadmodel") and resource.app.stream.HasPrivilege("read"))

Let me explain briefly what this is:

Qlik has a Security Rule called "Stream":

We disabled it and created a new Security Rule that is almost identical, we just added this to the conditions: and resource.@AppLevelMgmt.empty(). So, these are "conditions" of that new security rule:

(resource.resourcetype = "App" and resource.stream.HasPrivilege("read") and resource.@AppLevelMgmt.empty()) or ((resource.resourcetype = "App.Object" and resource.published ="true" and resource.objectType != "app_appscript" and resource.objectType != "loadmodel") and resource.app.stream.HasPrivilege("read"))

However, as mentioned, now all applications are empty (no sheets). I noticed that around 12:09 in the video it says "Oops - Minor Mistake - Here is the correct rule:" - but it's nowhere to be found, nor is there any link:

Solution from @Onyi_Nwabia-Robbins (fixed the issue):

For anyone who is still having issues with this, 
please make sure the two security rules that manage 
the app access are both for App* and NOT App_*. 

This will ensure the user has access to all app 
content and not just the app. 

I hope this helps.
