Scheduled tasks will fail in Qlik Sense, if the App contains Section Access while could be working fine from the script editor.

Investigating the log file <Servername>_System_Engine.txt shows a warning message similar to:

WARN domain System.Engine.Engine 89 6ac41964-2910-4a17-9162-c40119b2d3d6 domain\qliksense System: DetermineAccess: Failed to access the following document af18ffcb-6b60-4546-9fa5-f385172eebec with the user: 0 sa_scheduler 20181126T181325.903+0100 6864 7120 eaa1c5c2-1850-40cb-a490-0e6158df82b0 af18ffcb-6b60-4546-9fa5-f385172eebec 20181126T181055.000+0100 6ac41964-2910-4a17-9162-c40119b2d3d6

On the script log you will see:

Execution Failed
Execution finished.

Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows governs access to resources (such as Apps) through the Repository Service. An account for each service is created in the PostgreSQL database during setup, such as the sa_scheduler account above. For the Scheduler to be able to access the App during reload, this account must be added into Section Access, not the account running the actual service.

See also the help documentation:
"The INTERNAL\SA_SCHEDULER account user is required to enable reload of the script in a Qlik Management Console task." Managing security with section access

Resolution:

The following requirements must be met:

Make sure the relevant account is added to Section Access with access ADMIN. This may be the Qlik Sense internal (non-Windows) account INTERNAL\SA_SCHEDULER or the account chosen to impersonate it during reload. See also Managing security with section access
The app owner must have access to all data connections or at least all data connections used in the app

Example

Section Access;
LOAD * INLINE [
ACCESS, USERID
ADMIN, INTERNAL\SA_SCHEDULER
];

Could you add a section to this document to cover details on QLIK SAAS section access?

Hello @Ken_T

This article concerns the INTERNAL\SA_SCHEDULER user, which does not exist in Qlik Cloud.

Can you be more specific about what sort of information you are looking for? Does this help? Managing data security with Section Access (Qlik Cloud).

All the best,
Sonja

Is it necessary to grant Admin level access to the SA_SCHEDULER account? or minimal permissions will work?

ADMIN, INTERNAL\SA_SCHEDULER
