The QVS can use the Windows file system’s own NTFS privileges to store authorization

information. When in NTFS authorization mode, the QVS controls access to a given QlikView

document by determining if the authenticated user has NTFS privileges to the underlying

QlikView Document file (.QVW file). This is based on the operating system privileges and

Windows NTFS is used for the ACL. The privileges of the authenticated user are configured

by a server admin using standard Windows Explorer functionality via directory properties

options. QlikView Security

As an alternative to Windows NTFS, QlikView can use its own ACL called the Document

Metadata Service (DMS). Unlike NTFS, this allows non-windows users and groups to be

authorized to access applications and data. DMS integrates fully with the existing Directory

Service Provider (e.g. Active Directory, other LDAP) where Group Membership has been

recorded, this is a mechanism by which the QVS can re-use existing enterprise account and

group structures. The permitted Users or Groups are recorded in a meta file that resides

beside the QlikView Document, and is managed using the QlikView Enterprise Management

Console.

NTFS is the default document authorisation model, and suitable when all users and groups

are identified in Active Directory or locally on the QVS host. The NTFS permissions may be

inherited from the directory that the QlikView documents are in, or may be assigned using

QlikView Publisher distribution tasks.

DMS is required if the authenticated user identity is not a Windows User Account. The DMS

permissions are explicitly assigned using the QlikView Enterprise Management Console, or

may be assigned using QlikView Publisher distribution tasks.
