Security Rule Example: Grant Duplicate Permissions for a Qlik Sense App

Andre_Sostizzo — Thu, 17 Nov 2022 10:03:25 GMT

By default, only App Owners are allowed to duplicate an App.

Here is an example to allow a certain non-Owner user duplicating Apps.

! The example is provided for demonstration purposes to explain a specific scenario. No support or maintenance is implied or provided. Further customization is expected to be necessary and it is the responsibility of the end administrator to test and implement an appropriate rule for their specific use case.

Environment:

Setup Example

Open the Qlik Sense Management Console and open the Security Rules menu
Click Create new button

Name: AllowNonOwnerDuplicate
Description: This rule will grant DUPLICATE right to an application based on the inherited Read rights provided elsewhere. Update rights to an app are necessary to see the Data Load Editor Option
Filter(s): App_*
Action(s): Duplicate
Conditions: resource.resourcetype = "App" and resource.Stream.HasPrivilege("read") and (user.name="User2")

Note: In this example, we are using a statically defined user.name value. In a realistic scenario you will have a more robust user selection criteria (e.g. user.group="BI Developers".

The exact form of this condition is highly depending on how a user is allowed to view the App. In this example, we have a separate Security Rule to specifically grants "Read" privilege to of this App's Stream to "User2". This is to make sure condition resource.Stream.HasPrivilege("read") will return true. In the realistic scenario, this whole condition may need significant modification in order to fit the actual scenario.
