Ever wonder if there are other ways to enable teams to share data files in Qlik Sense for Windows, without using a shared folder in Windows or using attached files? Well, wonder no more!
Here is a helpful tip on using Content Libraries in Qlik Sense Enterprise for Windows as a shared folder for data. This is a great option if you want to enable teams in Qlik Sense to upload local data files to a shared space for others to use in Qlik Sense apps. This approach also works in conjunction with reload tasks so that individuals/teams can upload local files to a central place to update multiple apps.
Part 1 - creating the content library, uploading data files, and accessing data files via data connection
Part 2 - using security rules and custom properties to secure access to QMC, content libraries, and the data connections
Below is the custom property and the security rules that I used in part 2:
Custom Property
Name: TeamContentLibraryAdmin
Resource Type: Content libraries, Data connections, Users
