QlikSense Section Access Issue

[Hussaina1]

Hi,

1. When using section access and providing "ADMIN" access with below details I am able to access only the FR level details where in the flag is "INCLUDE_ALL"

ACCESS	NTNAME	MARKET	FLAG
ADMIN	A	FR	INCLUDE_ALL

2. In below case, when providing "ADMIN" access where there are no records with flag "INCLUDE_ALL" against FR, I am able to see all the data for all the markets in dashboard.

ACCESS	NTNAME	MARKET	FLAG
ADMIN	A	FR	INCLUDE_ALL

3.  Using the same case as above, when providing "USER" access where there are no records with flag "INCLUDE_ALL" against FR, I am unable to access the application and I get the message as "Access denied".

ACCESS	NTNAME	MARKET	FLAG
USER	A	FR	INCLUDE_ALL

Can anyone please explain how the ADMIN and USER level access is comprehended in the above cases.

Thank you.

That is how the section access is deigned to work. ADMIN users can always open the document, either respecting the SA filter if possible, or ignoring it if not. This helps protects the admin user from being locked out of the document by accident.

USER users cannot access the document at all if the SA filter returns no data.

Thank you for your response.

Just wanted to confirm if there is no SA filter possible for ADMIN then will they be able to see the entire data in the Qlik application?
