Security rules to enable user-initiated reload?

Hi everybody,

It's my turn to ask a question. I need to enable the user to reload his Sense App from the UI, while the App is published to a stream. I installed an extension from the Branch web site, and it works just fine when the app is not published, however once it's published I'm getting an error message "Access is denied".

Could someone explain to me in detail what security rule(s) need to get created in order to enable that? Should I enable Apps, Reload Tasks, Objects, etc...

thanks in advance,

Oleg Troyansky

Hi Dafnis

Didn't tested it on September 2018, only on June 2018. But I guess it will also work on the september Release. Its actually the same solution as from christopher

Hi Sasikumar,

Try this:

  1. Create a Custom Property according to my example:
  2. Name: AllowRessources
  3. Ressource Types: Apps, Data Connections, Users
  4. Values: EditPublishedApp.CustomPropertyReloadButton.PNG

     

    5 .Create a Security Rule which relies on that Custom Property:

    Ressource Filter: App_*,App.Object_*

    Advanced: ((user.@AllowResources="EditPublishedApp"))SecurityRuleReloadButton.PNG

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. Assign that Custom Property to the Users which should be allowed to execute the Reload:

Did that help you?

Hi @philipp_kunz , I have tried the solution you presented, it does not work for my case.

When a user tries to reload the published app, he gets the following message:

User ErrorUser Error

Hi Bogdan,

 

try giving that specific User the "Root admin" Role, to check whether it has something to do with that.

Does this change the behaviour?

No, the user still receives the same error.

Hi Bogdan,

 

please add the following (do not undo my previous instructions):

 

Add a new attribute "DataConnections" to the prior Custom Property:

CPValues.PNG

New Security Rule:

DataConnection_New.PNG

Assign this Attribute additionally to the User :

User CP.PNG

Does it work?

Hi Bogdan, which Version of Qlik Sense do you currently use?

Try upgrading to the latest available!

Then try again.
