Thanks，Bill.

I've read this document before in others' blogs which is also shared by you.

I'm still curious about why the same

domain\User act as ADMIN&USER QV Client Regards the User as ADMIN

but for USERID QV Client Regards the User as USER.

This doc is helpful for me to understand Section Access.3Q~

The admin or user only works in the desktop client. Everyone that opens a document through the accesspoint are users.

The Admin account will allow you to disable security options in the QVW. So, anything that is unchecked below the user will not be able to do.

Yeah.

According to my script:

If I write Section Access like this:

Section Access;

LOAD * INLINE [

ACCESS, NTNAME

ADMIN, MYDOMAIN\ADAM

USER,MYDOMAIN\ADAM

];

Section Application;

when I open this QVW I'm a ADMIN.I can see Security TAB you showed.

If I write Section Access like this:

Section Access;

LOAD * INLINE [

ACCESS, USERID

ADMIN, USER1

USER, USER1

];

Section Application;

when I open this QVW inputing USER1.I'm a USER(I've set USER1 as ADMIN&USER).

What troubles me is why NTNAME works different with USERID.

What happens if you reverse this?

ADMIN, USER1

USER, USER1

For NTNAME

USER

ADMIN

-------------- > ADMIN

For USERID

USER

ADMIN

-------------- >USER

I have not tried

USERID

ADMIN

USER

-------------

My Mac can't support QlikVIew.I'll try it on Working PC tomorrow.

How are you testing? logging into the desktop or on the AccessPoint?

NO.

Because Admin\User only different in client!

I configure the script and open the qvw by Desktop Client to watch to Doc&Sheet Properties.

HI,

I am not sure what you are trying to do our how you are testing things. Unless you check the "Admin overrides all security" the admin will look like a user.

Hi,

I don't know why..

But in NTNAME if you have two access level(Admin and User) for the same name(like USER1) it provides priority to ADMIN where in USERID priority goes to USER

To avoid this can use different IDs like given below, if you are using the USERID .

For user keep it as USER

For Admin can keep it like USERADMIN

if you are using the NTNAME can try with giving different password for user and admin . you can try this for USERID also by maintaining different passwords for same user.

I am not sure It will be a correct solution but still can give a try.

Thanks,

Siva

HI,

When using NTNAME the password field doesn't come into play. Also, why would you want to assign both user & admin to the same user?

The Admin will allow you to configure Security tab in the Desktop, where the user can't. When you login to the accesspoint all logins are USERS.
