restrict the creation of a folder data connection on a specific network path
Hello I'm working on Qlik sense enterprise I want to restrict developers from creating a folder data connection to a network path I know this can be accomplished via security rules I created a security rule as follows:
Resource Filter: DataConnection_* Actions: Create Conditions: resource.resourcetype = "DataConnection" and ( (resource.type = "folder" and !(resource.Path like "*\\\\qliksenseprd\\QlikSense\\Technical STORE QVDs\\QDF_FIN*")))
however when I go to the load editor, the create-new-connection button at the top right is disabled as if the security rule failed
I don't want to restrict reading the folder data connection I want to allow developers to create a folder data connection except for the specified location Please read my question fully before throwing hap-hazard answers
you can modify the security rule to add your conditions. In our environment we have defined on who can create a folder in folder lever security. Not from Qlik Sense.
Hello @Kaushik2020 in the company we have several Teams of developers let's say Team1 and Team2 both teams are allowed to create any folder connection. However members of Team2 are not allowed to create a folder data connection to \\server_name\QlikSense\Technical STORE QVDs\QDF_FIN
the thing is that the process behind the script is executed by the user account that runs the Qlik Sense engine. So even if you restrict users from accessing the folder via windows, the developer can still create a connection to that folder and even run the script successfully because it is ran by that service account.
