Where does Qlikview save authorization information

apurvkolte — Wed, 29 Jan 2025 17:03:10 GMT

We have some Qlikview dashboards and their authorization is saved on QMC --> User Documents --> Authorization --> All Authenticated Users.

Does Qlikview store this information is a separate file somewhere on the server, like XML ?

If you are running QlikView in NTFS mode (the default), those permissions are set in the Windows File Permissions --ACL.

If you are running QlikView in DMS mode, the permissions are stored in the dashboard.meta file associated with each qvw.

Thans for this information, is there a way to read and update this out of Qlikview from either a C# or Java based application ?

NTFS mode? You can use the icacls command or other windows tool/api.

You may also be able to do something with the QMS API.

Sorry for not clearing before, we are using dashboard.meta. Can we use icacls or QMS API with meta files ?

Only QMS API for DMS mode.
