What is an Attached File? See SS

[DoesitMatter]

Hi all,

I'm trying to understand the security concerns/precautions around Data Reduction via Access Control in Qlik Sense.

Could anyone advise what is "attached files" referring to in this paragraph:

Thank you.

Attached Files are data files that are uploaded into the Qlik Sense app. These are special because they are stored within the binary itself. Instead of referencing a folder or database and loading the data from the remote source, it is loading from the embedded file within itself.

So this means, if a user duplicates the app they are also copying the source data with it, which could be a security concern.
