API User with Limited Access

Hello,

Currently, an API user has unrestricted access across all workspaces, datasources, and related resources. While this setup provides flexibility, it also introduces potential risks. Specifically, when implementing a Task Executor button in a QlikSense app, there's a concern that a QlikSense developer could, either intentionally or inadvertently, trigger tasks in restricted workspaces due to misconfiguration.

Feature Request:
We propose the implementation of API users with limited access permissions. This would align API user permissions with those of standard users, restricting them to the workspaces and resources they are explicitly authorized to access.

Such a feature would enhance security by ensuring that API users can only perform actions within their designated scope, reducing the risk of unauthorized task execution.


Thank you for considering this enhancement. 


KR,


Nathan
