Reload button Qlik Sense Saas

Hi everyone,

I made a button for my app on Qlik Sense Enterprise Saas to reload data. It makes a partial reload.

The problem is that it can only be triggered by me, when other users try to do it in the published app, they get a message "access is denied". Can you please help? I searched some articles but none of them was for QS SaaS.

Thank you

If the user is "professional", then they can make a reload. The "analyzer" cannot. Should you assign to the users the "professional" license (and also the rights to the app) then they can do the reload. This is what I had tried back then and worked.
Eventually, I solved the "ad-hoc reload" issue of some users with a different method. I added an excel file that is syncronized in the cloud via "Qlik Data Transfer" and when it is synchronized, I configured Qlik Data Transfer to reload an app. In this way, the user changes a small excel file which syncs in cloud and app is reloaded.
If anyone has any better idea I am willing to listen!

I have the same problem with a write back solution I wrote myself. Only professional users can trigger a full/partial reload. This is simply something I do not understand. This Qlik policy sucks. It is overkill to give professional licenses to 20-30 normal users so they can trigger a partial reload. I understand if a full reload remains reserved for professional licenses only, but partial reload should be available to ALL users.

Write back is not the only use case I have in mind for normal users. Another use case is a small app with basic data where the normal user can load additional data if needed. This only works with partial reload. Without it I would have to include all data in the main app, increase it dramatically in size, and negatively affect the performance of the app during usage.

I hope Qlik reconsiders this user-unfriendly policy and allows everyone to trigger a partial reload. Let's face it, it makes no sense to offer a Button with a reload action if only developers with professional licenses can use it. Developers are not the end users. Most end users have Analyzer/Capacity licenses.
