Document CAL's User

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

Hi everybody I would like to know if it is possible to show only the specific document where it is assigned, for example, the Document CAL's User X is assigned to "Proyect X", I want User X only can see "Project X", because now, he can't open other documents, but he can see all of them.

Thank you very much

CALs exist independently of app-specific permissions. You'll have to use app-specific permissions (OS / Qlik level or using Section Access) to control those.

Hi @eli_legna,

Based on your description, it sounds like Section Access would accomplish what you're looking for. Have a look at Managing data security with Section Access

Bur Section Access refers to the same document, doesn't it? and I would like to show a full document, but not all the documents in the access point.

I've never tried using it. Have a look at https://help.qlik.com/en-US/qlikview/April2020/Subsystems/Server/Content/QV_Server/QlikView-Server/QVSRM_Security_Overview.htm#anchor-1

We've always used Section Access for our permissions, which in QV works great (in Qlik Sense, you need to use other means to hide documents from people who can't open them).

Hi @eli_legna,

Using Section Access will "hide" QVWs that a user doesn't have access to from the AccessPoint.

Then, for example if I have 25 documents, and my user Document CAL's just need to see one, I need to use Sectios Access for the others 24?

It is QV, then how can I manage the Section Acces in order just that document be visible for the user? could you please help me?

Hi @eli_legna,

Suggest that you start with Introduction to Section Access & YouTube video Section Access best practice to begin learning about Section Access.
