Section Access in Qlik Cloud Basic working erratically.

[vkish16161]

@ Qlik - Thanks for adding the section access feature on Cloud. I tested this feature today and works great, however,

I'm facing the below issue: (Maybe my syntax is wrong. Please advise me.)

My script:

My Data Model:

My Chart (Straight Table with all 3 fields)

My question is what happened to region C? it's there in the Data Model but not in the chart?

As far as I know Section Access is not supported in Qlik Sense Cloud. Where did you find this information?

[vkish16161]

It actually works in Qlik Cloud. Try it with this script below

Section Access;

LOAD * inline

[ACCESS,USERID,REDUCTION,OMIT

USER,*,3,TAX

USER,*,1,TAX

];

Section Application;

load * inline [

Region,Sales,REDUCTION,COST,TAX

A,100,1,15,0.1

B,200,1,20,0.2

C,150,2,30,0.3

D,200,3,40,0.4

];

Interesting, it is actually not officially supported as stated here: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-cloud/Subsystems/CloudHub/Content/Sense_Hub/Scripting/Security/man...

That might be one reason why it does not work as you would expect.

Hi Vishnu - this is not a part of Qlik Sense Cloud.

I am not even sure how this would work, as each user account is not part of the same directory, especially in Basic. Let me ask around, but you may be seeing a "red herring" or something.

Stand by

Hi Vishnu - I tested this and see what you are witnessing, however this is NOT TRUE section access as there isn't any link between the logged in Qlik Sense Cloud user and this table. You may be witnessing some strange behavior when the Section Access directive is being used. I have reported this to the cloud team. BUT please note that SECTION ACCESS is not supported in Qlik Sense Cloud.
