Qlik Sense Content Administrator Rule modified to include Active Directory Groups

[Sonja_Bauernfeind]

The Qlik Sense Management Console does not allow access to configuration options. All options are greyed out.

When providing access to the QMC, a common pitfall is that only the Content Administrator or Deployment Administrator Rule is being edited.

See below:



The Qlik Sense Management Console may then not allow any access to its configuration settings and have them greyed out. 

See figure below:



 

Resolution:

There are 3 rules that need to be edited, not only one.

• ContentAdmin is the general rule which allows changes to be made.
• ContentAdminQmcSections allows us to SEE the section in the QMC that we should be able to.
• ContentAdminRulesAccess allows us to edit specific rules attached to streams, data connections, content libraries and extensions (not ALL!)

The last rule needs to be edited to start like this..
user.roles = "ContentAdmin" or user.group="content" (where "content" is the name of my group)

As with the editing of any default Rules we advise caution when performing changes!
