How to allow users to access object properties in access point?

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

Hello All,

I have gone through so many posts on the community but unable to find any answer for this question. Is it possible for users to access the properties of existing sheet objects in web?

I have checked the box in security settings but not working

Any suggestions will be really helpful for me.

Thanks,

Regards

Neha

Enable ->apply All Sheets(check box)

Settings->Document Properties->Security

Once check the options.

Or else because of section access might be the properties are disabled.

Note that all sheets and objects that were defined by the developer in the original QVW document cannot be modified by anyone in the AccessPoint. Even if you succeed in making available a Properties... dialog in the AccessPoint, all properties will be grayed out.

If that is the problem you are facing, then there is no way around it. However, if you just make a copy of the object for which you want to check the properties, the properties of that new object can be inspected and modified in the AP since you created it yourself.

Best,

Peter

That helps if you have opened the document as an ADMIN. When you open the document on the portal, you are always and only in USER mode, regardless of the section access rules.

Hi Peter,

I am getting another issue - I am unable to copy the object if it exists in container. Copy option is enable but paste is disable. I can copy the container but not any object

Am I missing anything in the properties?

Many thanks in advance!

If you managed to really select the contained object no, not to my knowledge. Even in QV Desktop, objects in containers have always been difficult to copy, and when you paste them they often maximize without any reason. Maybe this is just a bug.

But I'll first try it myself.

Hello Jonathan, i tried reply on this post with a question:

https://community.qlik.com/thread/54342

It is about loading excel, but in my case by each row, and everytime it loops i want it to also check if that row exists in the qvd ,

It works for me. I am able to make a copy of a bar chart embedded in a container, and paste it on a sheet for which I have permission to make modifications (or on a new sheet I created in the AP).

Something else must be blocking you from doing the same. Did you check the sheet permissions? Or can you create a new sheet and try again on that one?

Best,

Peter

It works for the object which is not in container . I tried with new sheet too but the same issue.

Any specific security setting for container?

Settings in new sheets -

The sheet seems ok.

In QV Desktop, check Properties->Layout->Allow Copy/Clone is set for both the container and the embedded objects.

Also make sure (and this is important) that in Settings->Document Properties->Layout, Allow Copy/Clone is enabled as this option can disable copying globally for all objects in your document.

Best,

Peter

Copy/Clone option is already enabled at both the places.

I tested this on a patched SR8.

Would you be able to perform an in-site upgrade of your QlikView Server? Doesn't take long and is pretty painless.

Re: How to allow users to access object properties in access point?

nehasaxena — Mon, 24 Aug 2015 09:47:13 GMT

Mine Qlikview server is also SR8.

This issue is with IE Plugin , I can copy the objects with Ajax Client.

Re: How to allow users to access object properties in access point?

Peter_Cammaert — Mon, 24 Aug 2015 09:59:26 GMT

Then you just need to uninstall/reinstall the IE plugin.

Quickest way is to copy the installer from the QlikView Server and run it again. On your server, check C:\Program Files\QlikView\Server\QlikViewClients\QlikViewPlugin. There should be two installers in that directory.

If you installed QV Desktop on your laptop/desktop, upgrade QV Desktop.

Yes, This issue is only in my laptop because I have Qlikview Desktop and Plugin both, I tried in my colleague's machine it works fine

Thanks for your help!!!
