Learn the differences between Qlik Sense button actions - Reload Data and Execute Automation - when you want to reload a Qlik Sense app, or have ANY user execute an automation.

When creating Qlik Sense Apps  - you can use a Button object and configure a variety of actions or navigation settings to it. One of those actions is the ability to Reload Data for the app you are in. This comes in handy during development, but also can be used where users require new data on demand.

However, when using the Reload Data action - other users may not be able to perform the reload action as they don't have ownership of the app or reload rights to the app / space the app is developed in. Here is an approach when using Qlik Cloud and Qlik Application Automation that can workaround that. This approach will also work for any App Automation that you want any user to execute.

What rights do you need to give users to the space in order to let them reload a Native trigger button without setting up an automation?

Does the automation only work if the application is published to a managed space or will it also work under a shared space?

 

Do I need to change the owner of the automation to a system account, or is it ok to leave under my account?

It works in both Space types. But only for the right space. So, if it set up to work in the Managed Space and the User clicks the button in the Shared Space, it will update the managed space still not the shared Space.
