Security rules

The Qlik Sense system includes an attribute-based security rules engine that uses rules as expressions to evaluate what type of access users should be granted for a resource.

The Security rules overview lists all the available security rules. The following table presents the available fields and buttons. By default, only some of the fields are displayed. You can use the column selector (Table) to add fields.

Tip noteYou can adjust the column width by dragging the header border.

For generated rules, the Resource column includes the ID of the rule.

Filter container

Type a string to filter on, or, when available, select a predefined value. All rows that match your filter criteria are displayed. You can filter on multiple columns simultaneously to narrow your search. If a filter is applied to a column, Filter container is displayed.
