Access Denied. Membership of local security groups is missing. Please refer to the manual for more information.

I am getting the following error in QlikView11.20 SR 12.

Access Denied. Membership of local security groups is missing. Please refer to the manual for more information.

I've made sure that my user account is added to the QlikView administrators group and restarted the server after this. Could you please suggest what else might have been wrong or where to proceed?

Thanks,

Karan

Abhilfe bei Windows Server 2012 R2:

QMC nicht über die App aufrufen, sonder den Link: http://localhost:4780/qmc/Default.htm im InternetExplorer eintragen, dann klappt es.

After installation a group called QlikView Administrators should have been created on your machine. If you go to start > run and type compmgmt.msc

Now in your computer management window go to Local Users and groups > groups and you should see the QlikView Administrators group double click it and click Add.. and add your currently logged in user id.

This should give you access to the console. Also, for reference the qvs reference manual should have been installed under Program Files\QlikView\Documentation folder it is a pdf file if you need some more clarification as to what to do in the management console.

If the same user opens the AccessPoint landing page, what user ID is displayed in the top right corner (after the Welcome text)? Is that the same as the one you entered in the QlikView Administrators groups?

Maybe you can post an answer to my question? The fact that you cannot access the QMC was already clear to me from your initial post.

Best,

Peter

Hi Peter,

do you solve your problem ? Today I get the same message.

We are working since many month with QMC as Document Admin; this is not working anymore since today.

There were no changes on the QlikView Servers ;

the members in the AD-Groups, which have the right to work with QMC as document Admin are ok;

Only the QlikView Administrators are able to work.

What could be the reason fpr this behavior ?

Greetings

Susanne

Hi All,

I verified all the permissions/service accounts but no help. Finally I ended up deleting up the Qliktech folder under C:\programdata

Stop the qlikview services.

Backup and delete the Qliktech folder. (C:\programdata\qliktech)

Start the services.

This resolved the issue.
