Document Admin getting "Membership of local security groups is missing"

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

Hi All,

I'm trying to get the Document Administrators functionality working under QV10, but my test users is getting the "Access Denied - Membership of local security groups is missing" message. I have already created a local group "QlikView Document Administrators" and added him to this. What might I be missing?

Perchance it is relevant, we're using Active Directory, but I can't directly add his AD account to the QEMC-based list of Document Administrators for the target folders; therefore, I've assigned him to another local group and made that group a member of the target folder's Doc Admins list.

Thanks,

Angus.

Hi Angus,

If those users (or the group) is not in the AD but in the local machine, try to add this local directory in the QEMC, System, Setup, Directory Service Connectors, Local directory, so you can find that group in the Users tab of the QEMC.

Since the group is local, make sure all its members have logged on to that computer where the group is, otherwise membership will not be applied.

Hope that helps.

Miguel

The final solution was to

temporarily configure an AD Directory Service Connector for the directory in which my users are found
add the user to the appropriate Document Administrators list in QEMC
delete the AD DSC, as being no longer needed for this purpose.
