Named Users authorized to access a document

Any way to retrieve the names in the "Named Users" group authorized to access a document, listed in QMC? All authenticated users was applied and immediately the Named User list disappeared. Can there be a way to retrieve the names in that list?

Did you "clear" the list of users in the Authorisation area of the QMC? If so, I feel your pain - been there and done that.

I "rescue" myself by browsing to ...\Application Data\QlikTech\QlikviewServer and opening the Sessions_<servername> file in Excel and pulling out all the active users list of users who've used a previous application.

Because the file gets appended to, you can use it to extract the list of users who have used your application in the past.

Whilst not "perfect", it should allow you to filter "Qlikview User" from the file and be assured the names you extract, actually do use your application !

Hope this helps.
