Hide macro buttons for Plugin users

MEJ — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 16:16:04 GMT

Is it possible to hide buttons (macros that launch Excel files mainly) that I as a developer use to access certain databases and mapping tables (mainly Excel files) from users using Qlikview via the plugin?

In Properties|Layout, set show conditional to:

=upper(osuser()) = 'Your User Id'

The object will be visible only to you.

Thanks for you reply. Where do I find my user ID? Is it the User name (didn't work), or possibly License key (didn't work either)? All it did was to hide it from myself as well.

I use the developer license (v11), but the Qlikview users are using a plugin and accessing via the intranet. Therefore I don't want people to mess around with my macro buttons that are making my life a little easier.

Put =upper(osuser()) in a text box to see your userid

If I would like to add another user more than myself, can I just code it like this:

=upper(osuser()) = 'Your User Id'

=upper(osuser()) = 'Other User Id'

Thanks

You would have to lose the second "=".

Thanks.

However, it didn't solve my problem, as other users logging into Qlikview via the plugin, seem to have another USER ID than the one I am using.

Even when I login to the web application, I cannot see the objects that should only be visible to me (I normally work in the Enterprise/developer version).

Could it be that the user ID is different than my normal one when using the web version?

Is there a way to find out what the USER name would be when logging in through the web application?

Thanks

You can put a text object in your app with: =upper(osuser()) as the content.

That will display the userid.

We have never seen a difference between the user ids in the client or in a published app in our environment.
