Sharing bookmarks between users

Hi,

I would like to enable the users to share bookmarks between each other.
I saw there are a few ways to do this, but the only relevant way might be doing it throw sharing stories they create.
The problem is that the users don't have "publish" permission to the stream (and they won't have it).
What I was trying to achieve was creating a security rule for a certain user which would allow him to publish only stories he created (not sheets he created). My question is if it's even possible to manage sheets and stories separately, if yes - please assist me in creating the rule. Is there another way to achieve sharing bookmarks between users without involving the developer (meaning that sharing URL for example is NOT the way I'm looking for cause for getting URL you have to have access to Dev Hub which regular users don't have).

Thanks!

Unfortunately, This feature is not yet available, we do have a feature request submitted and worked on ID 471 (Bookmark-sharing-to-users-or-community). For the meantime, we do have some alternative with tweaking the security rules, but unfortunately, the document is not for the public, which you would required to open a support case to obtain it. If you do open a support case, request information for Article# 000034667, here it has a document with several scenarios and options that may or may not help you.

Hi Gno, 

Thanks for the answer.

I just saw that in February 2019 QS version this feature will be available! Am I right?

@pwagner It seems Product team deliver something with the what they so call a solution to sharing bookmarks, and this is by using the "shared button" (read more: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense/September2019/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Visualizations/Dash...

According to them, this their solution to cover this feature. I have demanded to them to include some sort of documentation explaining the steps and this is solution to shared bookmark among other end users.

The workaround works fine... BUT......i would like to build a generic sharing, so that the Users can put within the description of the bookmark the Userid's of the Users with whom the bookmark should be shared... works fine so far... but wihtin the security role i have the following problem:

This was the original from https://support.qlik.com/articles/000042136

...

Conditions: ((user.name="Eric Hanson") and (resource.objectType="bookmark" and resource.name like "*Blah*"))

....

so i changed to: 

((resource.description like "*endusernamexyz*"))
--> works (also if some usernames are written within the description of the bookmark)

((resource.description like "*user.userid*"))
--> does not work -> no result

((resource.description like user.userid))
--> only works if only one username is given into the description

I tried a lot of different notations... but nothing works... Thank you for your help...
