Bookmarks are per default shared with all users

Hi,

Whenever a user creates a bookmark, they land under the "My Bookmark" header. However, this header seems to be public since all users can see these bookmarks.

This makes the "My Bookmark" cluttered. And some users would like to have personal bookmarks that are not shared.
I am guessing that this could be a setting or a rule perhaps in QMC?

We are running Qlik Sense Enterprise for Windows

If I'm not mistaken, the default behavior is for each user to only see their own bookmarks. However, many custom rules allow some version of app* read access, which (unless specified otherwise) will give read access to all bookmarks in that published document, I think. You'd need to find any such rules in your implementation and condition them to exclude bookmarks using: resource.objectType != "bookmark"

Hi,

like the following custom rule that I found:
Name: ADAppAccess

ResourceFilter: App_*,

Type: READ

Conditions:

((user.group=resource.@AppADGroup or user.@AppADGroup=resource.@AppADGroup or resource.stream.name="Everyone" or (user.group="Leaders" and resource.stream.@StreamType="Prod" and !(resource.stream.name="Extract&Transform"))))

Would that type of security rule give all users access to all bookmarks?

I'm not sure if bookmarks fall under App_* or just App*, but this should be easy enough to test - briefly disable the rule and see if the bookmarks are no longer shared (ideally, do this on a test server rather than a production one).
