This is the actual file saved to a share not the connection to the folder its contained in.</P><P><STRONG>What we know:</STRONG> We can restrict the file system QVD folders using simple folder connections.</P><P><STRONG>What we have tried:</STRONG> We did attempt to use file system privileges to restrict both the use and writing of QVD's. However, because Qlik Sense uses a system account that has access granted to the file system, all users have the same rights to the QVD's. Meaning that any user with access to a folder connection can write to a QVD.</P><P>Is there something I'm missing?
