Document Administrator access to delete User Documents

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

Hi-

I really have two questions:

1. Is the best way to delete unneeded qvw files to just delete theem from your root/published location?

2. My Document Administrator has full control of the root and mount folders, but when she publishes a document it only gives her read access to the document. She can't delete her original test document.

Is there a step I am missing?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes, its good practice, but prior to that make sure you delete tasks first ( if any available on that document).

Yes, make sure that your user belong to QlikView administrator and local administrator too.

Let me know if that worked

Hello,

just a little observation: make sure that you have disabled reload in the documents you are deleting, and that you have also revoked all document licenses in those documents before you delete them.

Regards!
