Access Denied Error (5) while trying to create new sheet group.

[stascher]

Hello,

We recently upgraded to Qlik Sense on Windows November 2024 Patch 7 and I was excited to try the custom sheet groups feature as we have multiple clients who have asked for this. 

What I'm seeing, however, is that whenever I try to create a new group in a published app using Add To Group > +New Group, I get an Access Denied Error: 5 message. 

The particulars are:

• I'm using a test app that I created containing data and one base sheet. (though I see this same behavior on all of our apps)
• The test app does not have section access. 
• I create a new unpublished custom sheet (My new sheet) and try to add that to the new group as described above and get the Access Denied Error message. 
• I am able to create/publish/delete apps. I am able to create/approve/publish/delete custom/community sheets. I can also create stories and bookmarks. In short, I have full Hub and QMC access. 

And yet neither I, nor anyone else I work with, can add a sheet to a new group in a published app. Do I need to enable a security rule that's specific to creating sheet groups? If so, what would such a rule look like? I already have a rule to allow creation of app objects.

Thanks,

Steve

Hello ,

1. Please review the limitations section of the below.
2. Confirm if your application is ina managed space.

Note the limitation section: You cannot publish groups in apps in managed spaces. You can publish the group's contents, however.

Apparently there's a new objectType called sheetgroup that requires (at least in our environment) a new security rule to allow Sheet Group creation.
