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
Values: HRTeamContentLibraryAdmin, ProcurementTeamContentLibraryAdmin
Security Rules
Name: zTeamContentLibraryAdmin_QMCAccess
Description: Gives Team Content Library Admin access to the QMC Content Library
Resource Filter: QmcSection_ContentLibrary
Actions: Read, Update
Conditions: ((!user.@TeamContentLibraryAdmin.empty()))
Context: Only in QMC
Name: zTeamContentLibraryAdmin_DataConnectionAccess
Description: Gives Team Content Library Admin access to the team content data connection
Resource Filter: DataConnection_*
Actions: Read
Conditions: ((resource.@TeamContentLibraryAdmin=user.@TeamContentLibraryAdmin))
Context: Only in Hub
Name: zTeamContentLibraryAdmin_ContentLibraryAccess
Description: Gives Team Content Library Admin access to the content library
Resource Filter: ContentLibrary_*
Actions: Read, Update
Conditions: ((resource.@TeamContentLibraryAdmin=user.@TeamContentLibraryAdmin))
Context: Only in QMC
