Hi,

I guess you have assigned him the Named CAL license.

Named CAL license holder can see all the document.

So if this is true, that you have assigned the Named CAL license, remove it and then go to Document Tab -> Select the document for which you want to assign the CAL -> here you will see the tab Document CAL

Here assign the user the CAL.

One more thing, when you remove any license which is used by user, it will take almost 24 hours to release the license.

Hi Amelia,

If you are using Active Directory to login you can set the NTFS permissions on the actual qvw files on your server

to prevent users from seeing the documents in the accesspoint.

We use this method to hide documents that just create qvd files or documents that are being tested from users.

If you are using section access in your documents there is an interesting option in the document properties->server tab : 'Filter AccessPoint Document List Based on Section Access' which might be worth trying.

Hope this helps.

Hi Kaushik,

Thanks for this. But that user name is not in System->licenses->client Access Licence->assigned CAL.

Instead he is in under Document CAL. In this case how to assign the user to see only one document which is assigned to user.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your reply. we have NTFS permissions but I don't have any section access to any documents. In this case how to filter in the access point to allow him to see only one document.

Hi,

Do you mean to see the document on access point.

There are two things for this.

1. If your security mode is DMS then you can do this under Document ->Select Document ->Authorization Tab.

2. If your security mode is NTFS then you will have to go to the physical location of the application ->Right click the Qvw file ->Properties ->Security

Here under security tab, remove the Users and add the users to whom it should be visible and accessible.

Kaushik,

Actually the file which I have now is renamed from sales.qvw to sqles_new.qvw and 5 document CALs are assigned to sales.qvw and one document CAL is assigned to sales_new.qvw and do I need to remove the user(document CAL) which is assigned to sales_new.qvw before going to security as I am confusing in this and if I make any changes to sales_new.qvw will it effect to sales.qvw . Could you please explain if you don't mind.

Hi,

For qlikview and windows Both the files are different. So if you do any changes in first file, it wont affect the other.

Secondly which file is the final file which you want user to access?

If its Sales_New and if you dont require Sales.Qvw then yes you should remove the license assigned to Sales.Qvw file.

But I require licences to both Sales.qvw and Sales_new.qvw but different users. In this case will it effect to any other files and Could you please explain when I am trying to create document CAL I am not able to see the users created in Users and Groups in server that's why Imanually added the user name it it right to add manually? and regarding security...

right click on the QuarterSales.Qvw file and go to properties -> Security

under Security tab I am able to see Autenticated Users,SYSTEM,Administrators, Users

which one you want me to select and how I need to give access? as in QuarterSales.qvw file is assigned to one user that user will able to see only that file in access point what I observed is I opened properties of the qvw file no particular user is selected instead Authenticated users are selected. In this case I need to allow user to see only QuarterSales_new.qvw.

Can you please explain.

Hi,

OK now let me explain with example.

Say I have two Applications 1. Sales and 2. Inventory.

Now I have 3 Users, Say User1, User2 and User3.

The Authorization is as follows.

User1 -> only Sales

User2 -> only Inventory

User3 -> Both.

Now what I will do first is Assign the Document CAL's to the users and document.

What will happen in this scenario is All users will see all applications, but when they click on the application, the application will open only if that user has proper license.

Now requirement is User should see the application which they are authorized to.

Due to the Windows Security, "Users" group will be included in the security of the file.

What needs to be done is, remove the Users Group from security. And Add the users who are authorized to see the application.

So in our example

1. Sales application will have User1 and User3 included in security Tab.

2. Inventory application will have User2 and User3 included security Tab.

So User1 will see only Sales application, User2 will only Inventory and User3 will see both applications.

right, but if you rerun your task in Publisher, it would override permissions and you would need to do this again. It would be to have an option to inherit NTFS folder permissions.
