Control which tasks can be started via Butler's API

Qlik Sense tasks can be started using Butler’s REST API.
Using the task filtering feature it’s possible to control which tasks can be started.

This can be useful for sysadmins when only a limited set of tasks should be available to third party systems.

  # Controls which tasks can be started via Butler's REST API.
  # Enabling this feature gives Qlik Sense sysadmins a way to control which tasks can be started by third party systems and applications.
  # If this feature is disabled all tasks can be started via the API (assuming the start task API itself is enabled).
  # Note that the taskId, tag and customProperty sections below are additive. I.e. a task only has to appear in one of those sections to be on the "allowed" list.
