Hi Paulo,

Hidden script is not available in Qlik Sense, because of the nature of how the apps are created and published when using Qlik Sense Enterprise (server / online). (There is technically no reason to hide the script as access to the data load editor can be controlled with security rules and permissions)

Let me know if you need more information.

Hi,

If you use the Engine API or the .Net SDK you could obfuscate the script. By storing the script in a custom property and setting the script with an empty script. Note that when you need to reload you will have to set the script again. See code snippets how this can be done.

private void hideScript()

{

  var script = ActiveApp.GetScript();

  var prop = ActiveApp.GetAppProperties().As<NxAppProperties>();

  prop.Set("HiddenScript", script);

  ActiveApp.SetAppProperties(prop);

  ActiveApp.SetScript(string.Empty);

  ActiveApp.DoSave();

}

private void reloadHiddenScript()

{

  var prop = ActiveApp.GetAppProperties().As<NxAppProperties>();

  ActiveApp.SetScript(prop.Get<string>("HiddenScript"));

  ActiveApp.DoReload();

  ActiveApp.SetScript(string.Empty);

  ActiveApp.DoSave();

}

private void unhideScipt()

{

  var script = ActiveApp.GetScript();

  var prop = ActiveApp.GetAppProperties().As<NxAppProperties>();

  ActiveApp.SetScript(prop.Get<string>("HiddenScript"));

  prop.Set("HiddenScript", string.Empty);

  ActiveApp.SetAppProperties(prop);

  ActiveApp.DoSave();

}

Hi Mike Tarallo

So where the security rules and permissions applied on the script at the server level. Can you please send the steps or provide the video link showing this setup.

Thanks

Hi Sajid,

Note Lars example is for custom built apps and is not out of the box.

Out of the box, security rules are applied in the QMC. I have not recorded a video on this yet, but my colleague has - you can register for the free on demand webinar here:

Qlik Sense Security Rules: Centralized, Consistent & Accurate | Qlik

Note that rules are not really action specific and are not specific to the script / load editor - they are specific to the apps / objects and resources available to the user and roles / groups set in the rules you create. You can have a user have access to an app and create chart objects, but not access to the script etc.

Also check out the online help: http://help.qlik.com/sense/2.0/en-US/online/#../Subsystems/ManagementConsole/Content/design-access-c...
