QlikSense - Who does Task run under?

JustinDallas — Mon, 21 Mar 2022 21:19:53 GMT

Hello Folks,

When I click "Reload Task" in the QMC whose permissions does the task run under? Mine or sa_repository? I'm asking because there is a dashboard that has connections that I can't see so it throws an error when I try to reload it. But I see that the dashboard has reloaded successfully throughout the day when the scheduler runs it (who I assume can see all the connections).

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows / Client Managed has two modes.

By default: The reload task runs as an internal account (INTERNAL\sa_repository) which effectively gives access to all data connections
Alternative configuration: If you have enabled impersonation (https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-admin/Subsystems/DeployAdministerQSE/Content/Sense_DeployAdminister/QSEoW/Administer_QSEoW/Managing_QSEoW/service-cluster.htm) then it will run under the app owner's permissions

I'm guessing you have the default config setup.
