Unfortunately, the reload data action for the button object works only if you are the owner of the Qlik Sense app (Qlik Sense SaaS). In our use case, a user (e.g. analyzer with space edit permissions) should be able to reload the application with changed data from an excel file.

As an app owner I can also just go into the data load editor to reload the app. Please make the reload data action available to other users as well.

Thank you

Hi all, here is info on the reloads according t security rules in Qlik Cloud:

Managed spaces: users with "can manage" or "owner" can reload apps and set schedules.

Shared spaces: users with "can manage", "can edit", or "owner" can reload apps and set schedules.

So I would say this idea refers to -> add or change role so that users can RELOAD without being given permission to MANAGE (add and delete users from space, change space details, etc).  

This can be worked around with app automation very simply, using the following documentation:

Previusly, you needed to to paste the automation's CURL into the button in order for anyone to be allowed to use it (since automations could only be executed in the button by owner). However, in the next week we are releasing an update to the button that will allow the "Execute Automation" action to be clicked by anyone, regardless of app / automation owner.

thank you for this workaround, I am sure many of us will give it a look.
However, this does not negate the fact that having a role to do this is totally needed. 100% without a doubt, needed.

there are multiple ideas that have been posted for this

Having an automation workaround is good, but this should be do-able directly in the Qlik SAAS / QCG systems without such workarounds.

Hi @Meghann_MacDonald 

This is already available for me (awesome), but how to show the notifications? I've tried to add a output (reload started for example) from the automation but it didn't worked.

Thank you

Hi @sfbi 

You can do it with the Update Run Title block.

@chaas Thank you... I was able to set the notification, but only after the automation is completed, and not when the automation is running...

For example: Notification to inform user that the reload has started (this won't show).

Hi all, I was also having trouble with the notification last week, I’ll have @Emile_Koslowski comment on that one. 

And @Ken_T , I agree, still a valid request that many people would like to see! Will definitely keep this open.

@sfbi It's only possible to use the Update Run Title block if it's at the end of your automation. If you want to let the user know the automation was started, you could use a 'Set variable value' action in the button before and after doing the Execute automation action:

@Emile_Koslowski nice... I've created bkg color and icon variable for the button... thanks!
