Section Access

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

I am trying to set up SECTION ACCESS to restrict the access and each division can see only the related data.

The problem is that the data filtering doesn't work and I don't know why. I read all the forums but did not help.

Section Access;LOAD * INLINE [

ACCESS, USERID, PASSWORD, NTNAME, UPPER(DirectorateCode), UPPER(DirectorateDescription)

ADMIN, ADMIN, ADMIN, A\B, A, A

USER, USER1, U1, A\B, B, B

USER, USER2, U2, A\B, C, C

];Section Application;

and also I selected "Initial Data Reduction based on Section Access" and strict exclusion at the Document Properties / Opening tab.

Any idea why it is not working?

try this,

Section Access;

LOAD * INLINE [

ACCESS, USERID, PASSWORD, NTNAME, UPPER(DirectorateCode), UPPER(DirectorateDescription)

ADMIN, ADMIN, ADMIN, A\B, A, A

USER, USER1, U1, A\B, B, B

USER, USER2, U2, A\B, C, C

];

Section Application;

Load * Inline [

UPPER(DirectorateCode), UPPER(DirectorateDescription)

A, A

B, B

C, C

];

Hi Azadeh, your field names should be:

Section Access;LOAD * INLINE [

ACCESS, USERID, PASSWORD, NTNAME, DIRECTORATECODE, DIRECTORATEDESCRIPTION

ADMIN, ADMIN, ADMIN, A\B, A, A

USER, USER1, U1, A\B, B, B

USER, USER2, U2, A\B, C, C

];Section Application;

And also in your script use upper case names.

Iif you want to assure your values are upper you can do a nested load:

Section Access;

LOAD ACCESS, USERID, PASSWORD, NTNAME, Upper(DIRECTORATECODE) as DIRECTORATECODE, Upper(DIRECTORATEDESCRIPTION) as DIRECTORATEDESCRIPTION;

LOAD * INLINE [

ACCESS, USERID, PASSWORD, NTNAME, DIRECTORATECODE, DIRECTORATEDESCRIPTION

ADMIN, ADMIN, ADMIN, A\B, A, A

USER, USER1, U1, A\B, B, B

USER, USER2, U2, A\B, C, C

];

HI,

Take a look at ExampleA code is below. Here USER1 will see all the fields except SALES

Section Access;

LOAD * INLINE [

ACCESS, USERID, PASSWORD, OMIT

ADMIN, ADMIN, ADMIN,

USER, USER1, U1, SALES

USER, USER2, U2, WAREHOUSE

USER, USER3, U3, EMPLOYEES

USER, USER4, U4, SALES

USER, USER4, U4, WAREHOUSE

USER, USER5, U5, *

];

Section Application;

LOAD * INLINE [

SALES, WAREHOUSE, EMPLOYEES, ORDERS

1, 2, 3, 4

];

Now look at Example B the code is below. USER1 here will only see the data for AFRICA.

Section Access;

LOAD * INLINE [

ADMIN, ADMIN, ADMIN,

USER, USER1, U1, AFRICA

USER, USER2, U2, AMERICA

USER, USER3, U3, ASIA

Section Application;

SALES:

Many thanks for your replies, my fields were lower case then I had to put upper() when I was retrieving data from database

upper(DirectorateDescription) as DIRECTORATEDESCRIPTION

… sql exec QlikviewEventSummary;
