Hello
I want to create a security rule to enable the creation of a folder data connection to any folder except for one folder.
the folder that shouldn't have any data connection created is located at :
\\ma1\qliksense\store\qdf_fin

I create the security rold and put the following condition:
((resource.type="folder" and !resource.connectionstring like"\\ma1\qliksense\store\qdf_fin*"))

when I open the qvf and go to data load editor, I click on the Create Connection button on the right
but I get Access is Denied error message:

no you cannot write [lib://ma1/qliksense/store/qdf_fin/somefilename.csv]
this gives an error saying that cannot find connection ma1
so the first text after lib:// is the name of the folder connection

so you need to create a data connection first, and it is in the creatin of the data connection, the prohibit should work

please if you are not sure of what you write in your reply, don't reply or write something that you are sure of and have tried it before

You completely misunderstood what I said (again, this happened with my first post in this thread as well), but good luck with your issue. Not the best way of getting help IMO.
