Session CAL management

[#1]

Is it possible to manage Session CALs based on certain users? We have a certain number of named CALs, for our regular users, and 1 Session CAL that I would like to be able to assign to a certain set of users that don't access the tool as often. Is this possible? If so, does anyone have any documentation on how to do this?

thanks,

my dear in such case try do the following.

1. you know how to manage a power user by allowing dyanamic access or if you want it manually you can allow

   it by manually assign a named cal so full access to all documents to which user you want is in you hand

2.  session cal will get in picture when no of users go beyond your Named cal then its time session cal will be used and there is no way in which you can restrict a list of session cal ,if a session cal is there with user it means he can anyway access multiple document he can access but only only for 15 minutes, summary  there is no way you can assign session cal to a user it happens automatically. also 1 Session CAL will open multiple documents.

3. now the question which you will ask me how i can restrict you restrict  HR or Finance  application data from certain user  of course  Session CALs respect section access for reduction of data as any other CAL would  .

use section access and write down a script show reduced data other then power user.

also read the link  http://community.qlik.com/message/136169#136169

also read replies  from Karl Pover you will get  answer of most of your questions.

ok now coming to Main point how to anyway hide a qvw in access point from a identified or anonymous user he may have Named Cal or session cal the answer lies in section  access.

1. go to HR application create a section access by NTNAME let say you want three user in your network to ony see HR qvw and for rest any identified or anonymous the thumbnail should not show i feel thats what you are particularly looking for. so create a section access cript using a hidden script and add three user NTMANE

2. now go to Access point login by one of these three user there you will see they can see HR data and all finance appication , now try any other user you will see now HR qvw will be hidden as it did not belong to list of users assingened in Section access of HR QVW however thay can see Sales, finance ..i think you gt it

the above is the one tried and tested method i have done in my own organisation.

Hi Anant,

Thanks a ton for your time and effort well applying Section Access or Simple Password is itself a Pain as I am having More than 20 Applications so it is trouble for me to spend the time for these.

I have found a Simple Solution which is with NTFS windows Security I have restricted users .

I will look into your Solution too but as if all application are in development so once finished I will apply your Solution which Seems quite good.

Cheers!!!

Hi Rob

just a point to be sure :

if i have 2000 users using 1 session CAL that means 1999 users have to wait for the slot is free ?

If i want 100 possible concurrent users I have to buy 100 session CAL.

Am I right ?

best regards

HI,

That is correct. I session CAL means one user. Your account manager would be a great resource to help you with license questions.
