Default filters based on user

Hi everyone,

Can you tell me if its possible to set filters (field selections) ,i.e. region, based on the user who open the document?

I know it can be done in QlikView using section access and setting the appropriate check boxes in the document settings but Qlik Sense doesn't have the same settings. 

I know QS section access will restrict the data based on the user, but i only want the users filters to be selected, they can deselect them if they wanted to and see all other data. 

Is it possible?

Hi @CNH_1978, Qlik Sense Section Access works like in QlikView, except you cannot use nor develop it from Desktop, has to be used only in server environments.

If you want to filter based on the user, you could have the user name in your model, associated with corresponding data filters, and use the OSUser() function in the application default bookmark that is launched when opening the app.
