Field list security rules

Mat Smith May 19, 2016 4:58 PM

We're in the process of getting our solution together want to restrict access to what users can and can't see when they edit apps.

Is there any way to stop users from seeing the full list of fields and ONLY allow them access to the Master Items?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer,

Mat

Since you are talking about Master Items, but did post this topic in a QlikView stream, I have to ask:
Is this a question about QlikView or Qlik Sense?

If it is Sense, let me know so I can move the topic.

Try the OMIT in section access

Hi Kushal,

First off, thanks for the response...

Yes, it IS Qlik Sense I'm working with (and didn't realise I'd posted into the QlikView stream).

I'll have a look at using OMIT... but would omitting access to a field ALSO stop the user from accessing a master item based on the omitted item?

  Okay, no problem. I moved the topic to "Qlik Sense".

Cheers again,

Mat, curious what solution you did find. Want to do the same in our self service environment so looking for insight.

  Hi Jeannie,
  
  It was a sort of mixed bag really... Essentially, the field list you see in the general design environment isn't visible when the app is published... which means that your general / casual user will only get the master items to select from anyway...
  
  Having said that, your more adventurous / nosey users will probably get into the formula editor and will be able to access to full list of fields from there.
  
  Hope this helps,
  
  Mat

    Understood. Yes, they still return in the list when someone is editing and was hoping to hide them. Thanks!!
