Allow unsafe macro

johnan — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi, we have a serversolution and the user is getting access by AD. We have some QV's with built macro.

The thing is when you for the first time open the document as a user with Macro, you got 3 choices. Block or Run and run for this user (or something). If you choose wrong you will never get that option again. Can someone tell me how i can change that so you can change next time you open the document again?

Thanx

John

1. Make sure you allow "System access"in the document. (After opening the document press Ctrl + M, bottom left drop down, you can see the options)

2. Make sure you are granting System Access to your macros in the server through QEMC.

System -> Setup -> QlikView Servers -> expand and click -> Seucrity tab -> Add tick mark for "Allow macro execution on server".

That's all.
