Create Custome security rules for data connection -Qlik sense enterprise on windows

I do need to create a security rule to give access to user who only they are the owner of the data connection, using QmcSection_DataConnection.
i have created a custom admin role "DataConnection" and assign it to this user, in the condition i did "((user.roles="DataConnection" and resource.owner.name=user.name))" but the user still able to see all data connection.

Hey there @AB12,
Could you confirm:

Which type of data connection does the user see (e.g. folder ones, ...)?
Where the other data connections are seen? (hub, QMC)
The context of the security rule you created?
If the user has also other roles applied?
Did you try to use the 'Audit' to verify if there are other rules in place that gives the user visibility of the other data connections?

Regards,
Riccardo

In Qlik Sense, security rules are permissive only. So if a user can see all data connections, there’s a security rule that allows him or her to see all data connections.

Creating another security rule is not going to work. A security rule cannot restrict access.

As @rzenere_avvale suggested, you’ll need to use the Audit section in QMC to find the security rule that gives the user access to all data connections and either disable that rule or modify it so it wouldn’t give the user access to data connections that he or she doesn’t own.
