section access - managing groups and users

Hi all - 

After getting qlik server set up, apps created, we now have a few users ready to start using our application. I've read about section access and how to manage what users can see what data. 

How do I go about setting up this method? I've read you need to create a table in our database to manage their roles.

Right now, our user base is very small as this is a new effort, but would like to be prepared. Is it better to manage users based on groups then create a table to manage these users and then tie it with qlik? 

I've read you need these parameters if you do decide to do in the script editor -- Section Access; LOAD * inline [ ACCESS, USERID USER, User_ID ]; Section Application; LOAD... ... from.

Are these concrete parameters that I need to have included in my table or in the script editor? Looking for the best way to manage what users should see in our application.

I was finally able to get this work and super happy how well this is performing. I created that extra table you mentioned to pretty much put my users in specific groups. It didn't seem necessary to do a odbc connector to our database and manage users as our user base is pretty small. But this worked fantastically and once again thank you for your tremendous guidance and concise explanation on how section access works!
