User Cal - how do i see / amend who has access to QV? we supposedly have 5 user cals in our contract, but try as i might, only 3 people seem to be able to open the docs in accesspoint? how do i check / add someone to the user list?

Hi James,

you'll find this information in your QMC under the system, licenses tab, 'Assigned CALs'. There you will be able to see users with cal's assigned.

If you want exact control over who is allowed a cal, I would disable the 'allow dynamic CAL assignment' option. You are then able to assign as you require (from the assigned cals tab)

hope that helps

Joe

in the QMC (QlikView Management Console)

System--> Licenses --> choose server on the left --> Client Access Licenses (CALs) --> Assigned CALs

you can add user (user icon) or remove

System--> Licenses --> choose server on the left --> Client Access Licenses (CALs) --> General

nformation about the named user CALs, document CALs, session CALs, and usage CALs is presented.

the users also need authorization to see the doc

thanks guys, where exactly is the QMC (presumably Qlikview Management Console), is this on the qvs server?

Depends on your setup but if you have a single server environment then yes it will be on that server. Accessible directly from the server or if you have the right QV admin rights for your user, from your own machine with something like the below link

http://[Yourserverhere]:4780/qmc/Default.htm

hope that helps

yes (if you have all QlikView service in one server),

use a browser

serverip:4780/QMC/default.htm

just one final question, my name is on here but i am a developer and dont go through the net to view, if i removed myself from here and let someone else have a viewer licence, would this stop me from developing / seeing qlikview through my program?

shortly

to manage the server (QMC) you don't need a license

to see QlikView doc on the server you need a license

to develop

- if you have a personal edition you can develop but you can't open QlikView document on the server and document from other users (you can only open your docs)

- if you have a local client license you can share doc with other but you can't open doc on server

- if you have a server license (lease a license from your server) you can share and open doc on the server

Thanks Massimo, you and Joe have been very helpful and solved something that has been bugging me for a long time! its a shame our ERP provider who sold us Syspro with Qlikview didnt help us like this - the QV community has yet another victory and proves yet again what a valuable tool/source it is!
