how to setup data security filters at user level in Qlik sense

[VamsiBhagavathula1]

Hi ,

I have a requirement  that when a user from a certain country logs into Qliksense and run the app , he should see data related to his country only. Is this possible within Qliksense? When a user who doesn't have the mapping country executes the app , no data should be returned.

Best Regards

Yes, that's possible in Qlik Sense. The concept is called Section Access:

Section Access is used to control the security of an application. It is basically a part of the data load script where you add a security table to define who gets to see what. Qlik Cloud uses this information to reduce data to the appropriate scope when the user opens the application, that is, some of the data in the app is hidden from the user based on their identity. Section Access is tightly integrated with the data in the app and relies upon it to control access. This form of dynamic data reduction can target table rows, columns, or a combination of both.

Hi @steeefan ,

We are not into cloud yet. Do we have the same in Enterprise  versions?

Thanks,

Yes, it will work exactly the same. This is the article specific to Qlik Sense Enterprise.

Hi @VamsiBhagavathula1,

You can use User Acces Rules into QMC for filter specific country-based reference population

or it is possible to do it using qvd to filter people through the app script by restricting access to certain countries

These are two main methods that I know.

Do you already have a predefined table in Qlik Sense that classifies users by countries?
