Apply security rules at the chart object level?

Hi,

Is there any way to write security rules down to the chart object level? In the documentation and examples, I've seen rules applied at the sheet and story level. What about at the individual chart object in an app, on a sheet? How do you write that, if possible?

Here is my use-case for this security access:

I have a mashup page that embeds charts from a Qlik Sense application. Besides using the mashup for some guided analytics, I want the users to go to the app in the hub to create their own sheets for ad hoc, self service use. Currently when they go to the app in the hub, they see sheets that contain the existing objects for the mashup. These sheets aren't meant to be used as dashboards; they are just meant to host chart objects for the mashup to pull onto its page. As it turns out, having these sheets visible to users causes a lot of confusion.

What I would like to do is hide the sheets with my mashup items, while still enabling access to the individual chart objects on the sheets so that the users can see the charts in the mashup. I've been able to write security rules that hide the sheets; however, once the sheet is hidden, the user is blocked from pulling the chart objects into the mashup. I'm trying to add a security rule that will enable access to the individual chart objects.

Does this functionality exist?

Maybe look at OSUser() and QVUser().

I was able to hide and show objects by using OSUser().

Hey Sinar, this question is actually related to QMC Security Rules in Qlik Sense. The solution you are describing sounds related to using Show/Hide Conditions in QlikView objects.

Thanks

Sorry my bad. I tend to assume that posts are related to QlikView which is not a good thing.

Hi Speros,

you cannot hide sheet objects in QlikSense and is not functional yet. May be you can full fill your requirement by restricting Sheet level access. Check this link out on how to achieve it:Sheet level Section Access in Qlik Sense ??
