Column level secuirty in Qlik Sense
Hi All,
I would like to have a column level security in Qlik Sense something like:
Column level access using Section Access
It is great if we can do below in Qlik Sense!
A - Can see all the columns
B - Can see Sno column
C - Can see name column
D - Can see sno, name and dob columns
Is it possible to do the same thing in Qlik Sense?
Many Thx!!!
Best Regards,
Louis

hi
the example below will prevent a user from seeing the columns in charts
but if he creates his own visualizations he will be able to see the data
in my experience in qlik sense when we want column security
we use OMIT in the section access which exclude the field completely from the user data

Hi Liron,
Thx for reply!
If i omit the column let say column A
and one of table contains column A, B,C,
then the table will show an error incomplete visualization.
Is it possible to just blank all value in column A?
Best Regards,
Louis

hi
i don't think you can blank the values
you might succeed with a work around that assigns a flag to the users you want to see blank values
and then referance this flag in your expression
but to maintain your security across the app , you'll need to prevent those user from doing self-service
work
