Document administrator qmc access

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

Hi guys, I'm trying to access the qmc with my document administrator user. I'm getting error "access denied - membership of local security group is missing". I also configured the "qlikview document administrator" local group in system-setup-server-folder access but I cannot access the console. something missing?

Thank you,

Gianfranco

Is that user part of the "QlikView Administrators" group?

No, only part of document administrators group

That explains why he/she has not access to the QMC.

So... Add that user to that group .

I need to access the qmc with a lower privilege, document admin cannot access the qmc?

The sync process some time may take up to 24 hours after adding a user as a document admin. If permitted during regular hours, recycle the services.

How to set-up QlikView Document Administration

Hi Gianfranco, check out the attached, pay particular attention to the naming of the

'QlikView Document Administrators'

group, it must be EXACTLY as shown, NOT "qlikview document administrator'

Hi Andrew, I renamed the group (it was created by the setup, actually) and restarted the server but I get the same error

This group 'QlikView Document Administrators' isn't created by the Setup, but QlikView Administrators is

You do have a Publisher license, don't you?

this is a sneaky one, that they dont mention.

Add the user to the server group QlikView Document Administrators
log onto the QMC and go to System > Distribution Services > Pick your Publisher server > General Tab.
go to the path section at the bottom and select your source folder
add the QlikView Document Administrators to this group also
Some systems, will need you to add the individuals here as well as the group (don't know why but one of my clients needs this for the "Access Denied" message to go away

Seems logical that a Document Administrator won't be presented with an empty QMC because of not having access to any source folder. However the error messages ("you can't get in because we think you're not a member of a local security group, although you actually are...") isn't particularly helpful.

Thanks for posting this, David.

Hi Peter, I resolved, the problem was that the connection with AD was not working, now I can access the MC e I can see only the source folder I have the rights to.

Thank you

Hi Gianfranco,

I have a similar issue here. When I search for the users, I cannot see them because of the AD connection issue. How did you resolve the AD connection issue?

Thanks,
