I created a copy of the original qvw and completely optimized and called it NEW Vehicle History, assigned the permissions and ran it for a week for the end users to test.
Now I want to rename the qvw to Vehicle History. My question is, if I just rename the file in UserDocuments will it retain the permissions it currently has?
Hi,
renamed qvw file will retain permissions, but make backup of the file before renaming, just in case.
regards
Yes, it will keep the file permissions. However, you will need to also rename the .meta and .share files that go along with this QVW.

This is an old post, but since some information is missing I thought that I should add a comment.
Renaming the document (and meta & share) does not move the DocCALs. So you might end up with DocCals pointing to a document that no longer exists on the server...
Better to remove all DocCALs before renaming the document, and then add them back to the new document.
Here is a page that goes through how to get those lost DocCals back (Guess an easier way is to change the name of the document again and then remove all docCALs).
