For a migration, in an environment with a lot of dashboards, we cannot get around to changing the user structure too. However: there are some old dashboards that are not being reloaded regularly, but that do have Section Access applied. These of course need to be update, but to save time, I'd rather not (try to) check manually which dashboards might be troublesome
Is there any way (maybe through the repository?) to check which apps have Section Access applied?
By QlikView and the qvw's is the information if a section access is applied a part of the xml-header of the qvw. As far as the section access load isn't included within a hidden sheet the information could be also picked from the script. I could imagine that's similar by the qvf from Sense. A very quick check would be to open the file with an editor and using CTRL + F to look if you find something.
It might not be the best approach, but I'd approach this by scanning the reload log folder for any log containing "Section Access" as a text string and then cross-checking that with a list of apps that are published (which you can easily get from the repository), since you don't want duplication with every copy of an app ever made showing up individually.

In QS, there is no header XML anymore in the QVF unfortunately. Opening the file doesn't really point me towards something. I would expect the SecurityMetaAsBase64 tag to hold something, but so far no luck...
I'd just manually check those, then. Using the log files should cover the majority of your apps, presumably, so there shouldn't be too much to check manually.
