Managing security with section access

You can use section access in the data load script to handle security. In this way, a single file can be used to hold the data for a number of users or user groups. Qlik Sense will use the information in the section access for authentication and authorization, and dynamically reduce the data, so that users only see their own data.

The security is built into the file itself, which means a downloaded file is also protected, to some extent. However, if security demands are high, downloading of files and offline use should be prevented, and files should be published by the Qlik Sense server only. As all data is kept in one file, the size of this file can potentially be very large.
