Limited User Access

tyagishaila — Tue, 07 Apr 2015 11:09:46 GMT

Hi All,

I have a problem, how can I provide users to access only those qvw files which are usable for them?

I have no publisher license.

Please explain step by step.

All solutions are valuable for me.

Thanks,

u can try like this,

1.Right clik on ur applation/qvw--properties---Security- Edit--Add-- enter ur username int id

so,to whome u given access only those users can access ur applications

note: u also have to assign cals for those users from server

Hi Shaila,

In QMC go to document then select the application and there is a option 'server ' then server objects and in Authorization select 'named users' then in right side you can add the users and groups (to whom you want to give access) but you need to change this setting for all the documents.

Thanks

An easy example:

add in your script:

Section Access;

LOAD * INLINE [

ACCESS, NTNAME

ADMIN, USERNAME1

ADMIN, USERNAME2

USER, USERNAME3

];

Section Application;

Within the document option "filter accesspoint document list based on section access" - which is standardoption flagged on the document list will be filtered

The type of Access (Admin/User) on Accesspoint is user for all, it's only important for developing the file.

I did it,

but user is able to see all files.

applation/qvw--properties---Security- Edit--Add-- enter ur username int id

I did

applation/qvw--properties---Security- Edit--Add-- enter ur username

what is int and id

Re: Limited User Access

buzzy996 — Tue, 07 Apr 2015 11:53:25 GMT

what is int and id ----> for example when ur trying to login into ur office pc...u supposed to be login some thing like this INT\tyagishaila OR INT\STYAGI OR INT\SHAILA

but user is able to see all files. --- that's not possible --if u follow my steps properly only those users can able to see from AP!

applation/qvw--properties---Security- Edit--Add-- enter ur username--- After enter INT\ID u have to click side button CHECK-that will let u know this user part of ur domain or not.

it's windows domain id to access ur system and as u know qlikview following windows authentication.

Instead of giving the NTFS authorization in QMC please check DMS authorization option.

u can across check the above suggested solution,

1. add the user whoever don't have ur server access to see the difference,by default ur server user can access/see all the docs.

The easiest anwser is to use file security in Windows. Section Access is not the best first step as the user can still 'see' the apps even if they cant open them.

With file security, you need to watch out for inherited permissions which can often mean that users you have not explicitly setup can still see QVW files because they (or a group they bleong to) have read permissions to the folder the file is in.

Warning: If you are not comfortable with Windows File Security (aka NTFS) then I would get some direct assistance from someone who does. Your sysadmin would be a good person.

See my warning at the end. You need to get some local help reviewing the existing security and setting up the user changes needed.
