Nprinting Users

ali_hijazi — Mon, 02 Jun 2025 12:12:41 GMT

Hello
we already have import task in Nprinting that reads users info from an excel sheet
I have a question regarding the the users who receive nprinting reports via emails or folder destination, do these users need to have a security role?

Yes, users who receive NPrinting reports via email or folder destination need to have a security role (User) assigned in NPrinting.

can I remove privileges from the User security role?
I mean if one of these users logged to Nprinting server portal, (s)he shouldn't be able to see anything(apps,filters, reports,....)

they still receive emails and see reports in folder destinations?
currently this is what the User security role can do/see:

can I remove the view under Apps, Connections, Filters, Conditions and Reports?
would they still receive emails and can see reprots in folder destinations?
kindly advise

ok great
One more thing
how can I prevent any other user from creating a connection to our dashboard that has sensitive data
ok the dashboard has section access defined but how can I make sure that only one specific user can create a connection to my dashboard
Kindly advise

You can try "Identity" & "Apply user section access for reports" in connection settings.

yes I'm using this
but how can I prevent other developers from creating a connection to that specific dashboard?
the dashboard has section access defined and we need nprinting to generate reports from this dashboard
but developers may know the id of the app and thus create a connection and use the nprinting service account as identity

unless we use an account that is not known to other developers?

Hi @ali_hijazi

short answer is you cannot. If they have priviledge and are able to create connections they will be able to connect to any app which they know about.

In the other post here: https://community.qlik.com/t5/Qlik-NPrinting/User-Roles-in-Nprinting/td-p/2518584 I have already explained that you can create roles which you can connect to only specific apps preventing users from creating things in other apps. With that in mind you can have roles which prevent users from creating connections and only allow them to use existing connections - that is the only way you can prevent someone from creating a connection to app they shouldn't open.

cheers
