What is the purpose of defining access in Qlik Sense?

Defining access in Qlik Sense primarily serves the purpose of restricting applications to only selected users. This access control mechanism ensures that sensitive or proprietary information is available only to those who have the appropriate permissions, thereby maintaining data security and compliance with governance policies. By managing user access rights, data architects can prevent unauthorized users from viewing or interacting with data that they should not have access to, ensuring that the right people are accessing the right data.

This strategic approach not only protects sensitive information but also enhances the overall management of data within an organization. Implementing effective access controls fosters trust in data handling practices and enables organizations to control who can create, edit, and view applications, which is critical for maintaining an organized and secure data environment.
