GetTaskAcl

Retrieves the explicit ACL defined in Qlik Enterprise Manager for the specified task, including a Boolean indication if ACL inheritance is disabled or enabled for the task.

The method returns the explicit ACL only. In other words, it does not return inherited ACLs.

If all of the task ACLs are inherited (i.e. no ACL was explicitly defined for the task), an error will be returned indicating that no ACL was found.

This method can be used together with PutTaskAcl in order to update an existing server's ACL. First, call GetTaskAcl, then edit the returned roles as required, and finally, call PutTaskAcl.

Required User Role: See Required Enterprise Manager permissions.
