This section describes problems that can occur when designing access control in the QMC.
I cannot create a security rule for my user directory connector
Possible cause
You are trying to use the user directory connector's value for Name in the security rule.
Proposed action
You must use the user directory connector's value for User directory in the security rule.
I suspect that a user can access a stream that should not be accessible
Possible cause
One or more security rules include access rights for the user who is requesting access.
Proposed action
Make the following audit query to find out which streams the user can access. Disable or edit the security rules, if necessary.
App access problems related to security rules
Badly designed custom security rules can result in the following problems:
-
Users cannot open apps that they should be able to open.
-
Users can open apps that they should not be able to open.
Possible cause
One or more custom security rules are not working as they should resulting in excessive permissions or lack of permissions.
Proposed action
Follow the methods described here: Troubleshooting Qlik Sense Enterprise Security Rules
