Mashup Security in QlikSense

Hello and welcome back...!

In one of my previous blogs, we discussed regarding Mashups in QlikView and QlikSense, how we can use them to show near to real time data etc. In today's article, I am going to tell you how Security Rules work in case of Mashups. 

If you want, we can also include few articles on Security Rules, please provide your comment in the comment box below. So, when we say Mashup can have combination of objects from one or different QlikSense Applications, there are possibilities where all users will not be having access to all objects in Mashups. In such cases, how the Mashup will work ?

Consider below scenarios -

1. There is a html link where we have two application objects in one Mashup, and for one application, user is having access and user cannot access the other application in hub
2. There is a web link where the objects in Mashups are from one application only, but user is not having access to the complete application itself
3. User is having access to all objects and application in the Mashup web link

As you can easily guess from above scenarios, for the third scenario, there will not be any problem while accessing the Mashup link. But in case of first and second scenario the behaviour will differ like -

1. In this case, user will be able to access only objects of application which he is having access.  For other objects, there will be blank space 
2. In this case, a blank page will be open with only static content visible

Note: -  In both the cases above, a message will be shown come as a pop-up at the right end corner saying : “Forbidden” 

That's it for this article.

Stay tuned, for more and more articles.
