Allow Creation of Server Objects - any negative impacts?

I understand that to create Bookmarks and take snapshots, a user must have the ability to create server objects. Just wondering if there's any negative impact or downside to allowing users to do this? We have a couple users that have this ability, but before opening it up to more users, I wanted to get others thoughts.

Hello,

User Object  or Private Object in Qlik Sense will allow users to create new Sheets and Visualization. This could have a negative effect if for example one of these visualization introduces a very high resource consuming calculation.

There could also be a negative effect if one app was ending up with a lots of new sheets or private object for example.

So when allowing users to do that, it is always good to put some monitoring in place as well as making users aware of the app development best practices. 

Hope this helps!

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much! I figured there must be some concern since it was based on a permission. Thanks again!
