Security Rule Example: Grant Import/Export privileges for Qlik Sense apps

By Default, non-admin users are not allowed to import/export Qlik Sense 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. For access to more tips and tricks, best practices, and ever-evolving creative solutions, we recommend joining us in our active Qlik Community.

Environment:

Setup

Open the Qlik Sense Management Console and open the Security Rules menu
Create the 2 below rules.

Name: QmcAppSection_User1
Description: This rule will grant access to the apps section in the Qlik Management Console (QMC) to User1
Filter(s): QmcSection_App
Action(s): Read
Conditions: (user.name="User1")

Name: ImportExport_User1
Description: This rule will grant import/export rights to User1
Filter(s): App_*,App.Object_*
Action(s): Create,Read, Update, Export
Conditions: (user.name="User1" and resource.HasPrivilege("read"))

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". If you only want to allow import, remove "Export" from the actions in the second rule.
