Access Rights Over AD Groups

Tue, 03 Jun 2014 09:08:59 GMT

My question is in regard to access rights - is it possible (and if yes, how) to implement access rights by using NOT Windows NT Usernames but Windows NT Active Directory GROUPS?

Hi Dragan,

Yes, you can give access to documents using AD groups.

Could you elaborate how users are suppose to access documents?

Hi Andreas,

thanks for the reply.
I would like to control access to data, not documents.
In the "QlikView for Developers" book I have seen an example in which access rights are implemented by using specific usernames. -> how can I implement access rights not using specific usernames, but AD groups. (At the bottom line, I want to achieve that AD group owners and not I take care of the group membership. Since QV applications are growing there are many users that access different apps. By doing this I could save time, and corresponding group owners could take care for access rights.)

Hi Dragan,

As per my knowledge the data level access you can give by using section access and you can retrieve the AD group of users by using script in Qlikview while developing application.

Hi Rajendra!

Sorry but I didn't understand what you were trying to explain.
Can you please elaborate on that and give some example? Thanks.
