QVS Custom User Assign Authorization to a Folder

[#1]

Hi @all,

is there a way to authorize a custom User within the Custom Directory to a folder, in which the qw-documents are saved?

Up to now I select every document under "Documents" in the qw-management Console and under "Authorization" I name the Custom User/Group.

If I have, for example, one Custom User who shall have access to all QlikView-Documents in all of the folders, it is very tedious to select every document and allow the authorization for this special User. May be there is a better way to do this?

This is the Folderstructure:

Root Folder

     - Client 1

          - client1.qvw

     - Client 2

          - client2.qvw

     - Client 3

          - client3.qvw

The best would be, if I could authorize the Custom User to access the Root Folder and every qvw-file which lies in there (including the subfolders).

Hope, somebody can help me. If there are any questions, please ask.

Hallo Daniel,

I think thats no Problem,

I have is here in german, i try to translate the steps to english

you go to your root folder "properties", "secutity", and than "advanced". The button is at the bottom. Than "authority to change" and than check "

Replace permissions on child objects with inheritable permissions from this object "

Hi Marcus,

German is no problem, because I am German 😉

Thank you for your help. The problem is that I use the Custom User for Authentication. That means I also use DMS Authorization instead of NTFS. QlikView controls the file access and because of that, I can't just set the security-permissions in the Windows-Folders itself. It all has to be done in the QVMC. Or do I have errors in reasoning? 🙂

greetings
