The resource access control system in Qlik Sense is based on attributes. This means that the access is based on rules that refer to attributes connected to resources and users in Qlik Sense.
All authorization to resources is enforced by the Qlik Sense Repository Service (QRS). The QRS only gives other Qlik Sense services access to resources that the current user is allowed to access.
The resource access control system determines the access based on the following parameters:
- User name and user properties: The user name and user properties are supplied by the Qlik Sense Proxy Service (QPS) that authenticated the user.
- Action: The method that the user is trying to perform on a resource (for example, create, read, or print).
- Resource: The entity that the user is trying to perform an action on (for example, app, sheet, or object).
- Environment: The environment is supplied by the QPS and describes, for example, time, location, protection, and the type of Qlik Sense client used.
