Access to People to be able to stop NPrinting tasks

[rohitk1609]

Hi team,

We have few users who have nothing to do with development or any admin work in NPrinting but need to stop or start few NP tasks if needed. 

we want to give such access to few users so they can stop or start NP tasks. They can't open anything else. Access of stop or start tasks for particular Tasks not all of tasks.

In other words, people to be able to stop or start NP tasks from being issued. 

Is it possible?

Thanks,
Rohit

Your requirement should be possible by creating custom NPrinting Security roles.

Hi,

You need to create a security role (refer to https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/February2021/Content/NPrinting/DeployingQVNprinting/Managing-r...) and assign the correct apps.

The privilege to run publish tasks is:

To abort a task under execution you need to open the Task Executions page (https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/February2021/Content/NPrinting/AdministeringQVNprinting/Tasks/...). The privilege is:

Also verify those settings in help document depending on version. I remember that on some older versions it was not as straight forward as it is now.

Hi,

Yes @Lech_Miszkiewicz the privilege about the task execution page was added in recent versions. It was not available from the beginning.

First of all. Thanks to everyone for inputs.

My use case is, I need to grant such access where few users can disable the task is they know that data is not ready for reporting. To do so I have created a rule where I have enabled EDIT option for PUBLISHED TASKS.

This lends me to a new problem where concern user can open the task, could edit anything inside of task.

I just need to give access where concern use can disable the task. is it possible anyhow?

Thanks,
Rohit

Hi,

When you grant users to edit a task they will have a complete edit privilege. Now (February 2021) there is not a finest granularity on privileges. 

You could evaluate:

• trigger a Qlik NPrinting publish task after Qlik Sense data reload finished https://community.qlik.com/t5/Qlik-NPrinting-Discussions/How-to-use-Qlik-NPrinting-APIs-inside-a-Qli...
• to use conditions https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/February2021/Content/NPrinting/ReportsDevelopment/Conditions.h...
• use On-Demand, in this case note that the user can run a report, not a task https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/February2021/Content/NPrinting/On-Demand/Create-Report-On-Dema...
• build a custom solution using APIs https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/February2021/APIs/NP+API/index.html?page=53
