QVW Password

Tue, 24 Sep 2013 15:39:59 GMT

Question: Is there a way to put a password on a QVW?

I am currently creating a dashboard around the payroll/productivity system and the data is being pulled from a password protected database and I can use section access to protect the data on Access Point but we would also like to ensure that no one can open the QVW in our Business Intelligence files.

Thank you in advance!

Section Access will also apply to the users who may attempt to open the QVW directly. If a user is not included in the Section Access and they attempt to open the document an access is denied error will be displayed and they will be prevented from opening the document. This is part of the the reason you want to make sure to always make a backup of your application prior to implementing section access.

Thank you, that is good to know but is there a way to put a pop up box with a generic password because that is more of what my end user is looking for?

Section access is still your best bet. Please see attached

User ID = KATIE WEBB

Password = PASSWORD

As Byron Van Wyk wrote it:

Fill in at top of your LOAD-Script:

Section Access;

Load * inline

[ACCESS,USERID,PASSWORD

ADMIN, "KATIE WEBB", PASSWORD

];

Section Application;

Bold stuff should be changed.
