Definition of app.object.objectType when creating security rules

[Sonja_Bauernfeind]

Conditions (Advanced view) offers a list of possible arguments and a syntax example for creating security rules. 

Some additional explanation for other object types are as follows:

• embeddedsnapshots: Snapshots created from a visualisation (and then put in a story)
• genericvariableentry: Variables creates in the app
• hiddenbookmark is a legacy from QlikView but is still used by Qlik Sense clients in certain cases. So it is recommended to include both bookmarks and hidden bookmarks when setting security rules on user bookmarks.

Environment:

Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows

Thanks from providing definitions @Sonja_Bauernfeind!

Would you please also provide definitions for the following three additional object types:

• appprops
  • Does this have something to do with app theme?
• ColorMap
  • Are these colors assigned to values of master dimensions?
• userstate
  • Are these alternate states?

Hello @mbespartochnyy 

I could locate userstate as a condition but have had no luck locating appprops or colormap. What version did you find them in and in which context?

Once I know, I will look into finding the definitions for you.

All the best,

I'm using Qlik Sense August 2022 Initial Release.

There's no built-in rules that use appprops and ColorMap but those object types are available if a new rule is created, with App.Object_* as a resource filter. When #App.Object is chosen and the objectType is selected for the advanced condition, the appprops and ColorMap appear in the list of available values:

Thank you for the clarification, @mbespartochnyy!

I've reached out to our subject matter experts and will get back to you soon as I know more (and then document them here accordingly).

All the best,
Sonja

Hello @mbespartochnyy 

appprops = app properties
colormap = theme colors
userstate = Alternative States for the app

Reviewing the Help site some more, we found them documented in the Available Resource Filters.
