what is the standard usage to test section with data reduction ?

Hello,

In Qlik Cloud, how can I test the Access section with scope reduction?

Is it possible to simulate the display for a specific user? 

(I'd like to avoid app reload between each test)

Regards

Hi, to make the test I load the section access table as a normal table, and select some users to check the data filtered for each user is the expected.

I needs a reload for the test, but you can check different users on one reload.

Depends on exactly what's in your Section Access... 

Generally, we use active directory groups, so we have a couple of test users that we can just reassign to different groups and test with. Note that you may need to open a private-mode browser to be able to login as a specific user depending on your SSO / login / browser settings.

Hello, thanks for your help,

I think there is definitely a feature missing in Qlik but your tips help 👍

comment the line where you wrote : section access;

then reload your script
in this way the section access table will be loaded as a normal table
you can select whichever user from the column USERID

don't select users with ADMIN access as these are treated in a special way they will see everything when the table is in section access

I can walk on water when it freezes

QlikView actually has user impersonation built in, but you'd need the user's password, which isn't great from a security standpoint.
