When an On-Demand App Generation (ODAG) link is created in a selection app and the app is transferred to another owner, then the new owner can only see the option "Add to App Navigation" in the right-click context menu. Options "Edit" and "Delete" are missing. 


The same issue happens when the selection app is duplicated by another user.

Resolution:


This is a known limitation of Qlik Sense and has been reported in defectQLIK-83203.

There are default security rules: CreateOdagLinks and ReadOdagLinks.
But no default rule for Update/ Delete of ODAG links.

A work-around solution at the moment is to create custom security rules that grants Update/ Delete access of ODAG links to the new app owner, similar to the followings:

ODAG links are meant to be managed similar to Data connections, where a connection created in one app can be used in other apps. However, while the QMC provides a Data connections tab to list down all connections and control related ownership/ permissions, such management GUI is not available for ODAG links. R&D is considering the ODAG link management page in future releases of the product.

This page is some years old and are referring to an defect QLIK-83203. 

What's the status about editing these links today? Have anyhting changes? Is the same workaround still valid? 

 

What about adding the odag objects to the management page? Is that still on the table?

And what about SaaS? There are no rules that allow this... so far we have to recreate all the ODAG connections and republish if the owner ever changes...
