Security Rule Example: Grant Import/Export privileges for Qlik Sense apps

[Damien_V]

By Default, non-admin users are not allowed to import/export Qlik Sense apps.

! The example is provided for demonstration purposes to explain a specific scenario. No support or maintenance is implied or provided. Further customization is expected to be necessary and it is the responsibility of the end administrator to test and implement an appropriate rule for their specific use case.

Environment:

Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows 

Setup

1. Open the Qlik Sense Management Console and open the Security Rules menu
2. Create the 2 below rules.
   
   Name: QmcAppSection_User1
   Description: This rule will grant access to the apps section in the Qlik Management Console (QMC) to User1
   Filter(s): QmcSection_App
   Action(s): Read
   Conditions: (user.name="User1")
   
   Name: ImportExport_User1
   Description: This rule will grant import/export rights to User1
   Filter(s): App_*,App.Object_*
   Action(s): Create,Read, Update, Export
   Conditions: (user.name="User1" and resource.HasPrivilege("read"))
   
   Note: In this example, we are using a statically defined user.name value. In a realistic scenario you will have a more robust user selection criteria (e.g. user.group="BI Developers". If you only want to allow import, remove "Export" from the actions in the second rule.
