User Group Configuration - Security Restriction

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi All ,

I have a set of Reports and Dashboards Configured . Now I want to configure user groups and assign security to access relevant reports and dashboards

I am completely new to qlikview and don't have any idea on how to implement this

Can anyone guide me on the step - by - step process to achieve this functionality and also please share any docs showcasing the security capabilities of Qlikview as a tool

Appreciate the help

Thanks,

Sai

Hi,

Do you have publisher? If not you can set NTFS permission on the files. You would remove everyone and assign the groups to the file. If you have publisher you can do it during the distribution of the QVW.
