Real-Time Section Access Generator

Data is our most valuable asset as it drives our decision and operational frameworks.

Data management is a Governance Risk Compliance requirement both from an access and exposure (privacy data) perspective. Data exposure at any point creates risk within the business and should be controlled by data owners.

Section Access Manager (SAM) is a unique, built for purpose, enterprise solution to automate and control Section Access within Qlik Applications. SAM keeps Section Access real-time with Qlik QMC API integration and SmartReload (No Data) and a configurable cache service cycle refresh time.

Qlik Section Access Manager

Qlik Application access is assigned on a Qlik Sense Stream/Workspace level and controlled by Qlik QMC stream level access which enables access to all data for all applications within the stream. SAM Automates Section Access at stream level by automatically applying a Section Access Script within each application enabling the control of which user actually has access to which application within the stream.

Qlik data authentication at user level is implemented via Section Access Management script within a Qlik Application. SAM provides a workflow for non-technical users to assign and control row-level data reductions and omissions for any controlled Qlik Application.

Section Access Manager for Qlik (SAM) is an automated Section Access product for Qlik Sense

Section Access Manager for Qlik (SAM) will automatically assign Section Access data security on an application level and provide a self-service interface for developers and business users to instantly assign Section Access to users/groups on an application.

Qlik Section Access Problem Statements

  1. Employee churn (52% per annum: 22% role changes, 30% on/off boarding
  2. User churn is constant and the coding of user access on/off boarding is dependent on technical skill and resource availability thus costly.
  3. Time delays to access/deny business intelligence insights (requests, support, approvals, work assignment, implementation, testing validations, publication, reload)
  4. Coded not NoCode and self-service
  5. Time consuming when on data level (Coded OMIT’s and Reductions per user)
  6. Manually created and controlled not automatically generated
  7. Data access audits are extremely time consuming and costly when not automated and system driven
  8. Audit requirements are detailed and should be transactional log based and thus not complicated to audit
  9. Those who control data access should not require technical skills
  10. Which apps are secure, and which are not?
  11. Which users have access to what data and since when?
  12. Are Qlik Section Access Standards adhered too?
  13. Do you need security on all applications, all the time, instantly?
