In your case it is done by Windows using Active Directory (AD). Create a new user in Active Directory, assign a QlikView license to that user in the QMC and grant document permissions if you are using additional security techniques (like Section Access).</P><P></P><P>Note that your Qlik license agreement may not allow you to grant access to QlikView documents from outside your company.</P><P></P><P>Peter</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 17 Sep 2015 11:52:04 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/How-to-create-and-configure-users-in-QlikView/m-p/970208#M1255930 Peter_Cammaert 2015-09-17T11:52:04Z Re: How to create and configure users in QlikView https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/How-to-create-and-configure-users-in-QlikView/m-p/970209#M1255935 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thank you for such a fast response! I will check the AD then. I think the license allows me to connect from the outside, but I will check that too.</P><P></P><P>Thank you!!</P><P></P><P>Ángel</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 17 Sep 2015 12:09:46 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/How-to-create-and-configure-users-in-QlikView/m-p/970209#M1255935 2015-09-17T12:09:46Z
