I have folders A and B, and two users, X and Y. I share from the master computer folders A with user X and B with user Y. When the users X and Y reload the Qlik Sense applications, it extracts data from<STRONG> both folders for both users,</STRONG> even though they don't have Windows permissions to access the folders.</P><P></P><P>Has this ever happened to you?
