Checking for Section Access Across a Qlik Sense Environment or Qlik Cloud

[hugo_andrade]

Hi all,

Quick question before I spend time building this...

Is there already any app that helps check Section Access usage across a Qlik Sense environment or Qlik Cloud?

What I have in mind is something that scans all apps and shows whether Section Access exists in each app or not.

I wanted to check first in case this has already been done somewhere in the community or shared publicly.

If it exists, I would appreciate a link or reference.

If not, I will likely put something together and share it back with the community.

Thanks!

I don't know if anybody has done it, but you should be able to build an app or automation pretty easily using the Qlik Rest API's as your data source. you'll notice one of the attributes returned by the app api identifies if there is Section Access used. Here is the api documentation https://qlik.dev/apis/rest/apps/#get-api-v1-apps-appId.

Hi @chriscammers ,

I wanted to confirm if there's an existing app already out there before building it.

But thanks for sharing 🙂

Hi @hugo_andrade ,

In Qlik Cloud, both Access Evaluator and App Analyzer in Monitoring Apps Space have the AppHasSectionAccess field that you can use to filter the apps with and without Section Access.

Hi @hugo_andrade , as Mark mentioned, the monitoring apps can help you with Qlik Cloud.
The same with Qlik Sense Enterprise for Windows. The "Content Monitor" app loads a field called "Has section access" that can be used for this purpose.
