Hi,

 

This document helps in implementing Sheet level access based on the user using Section Access.  I configured four users A, B, C and D and no password is required to login.

 

If you login as A, then you can see both Sheet1 and Sheet2.

If you login as B, then you can see only Sheet1.

If you login as C, then you can see only Sheet2.

If you login as D, then you can see both Sheet1 and Sheet2.

 

The user access is defined in the table

 

UserID Sheet1 Sheet2
A 1 1
B 1 0
C 0 1
D 1 1

 

 

Hope this helps others in implementing Sheet level security.

 

Regards,

Jagan.

I mean when i open attached QVW , it ask USER ID. So i don't want to implement that pop up.

I want qlikview to get user ID form loged user and Show data according to it.

Hi ,

When you open the QVW and it ask for user id and password , this is part of authentication. what we do in section access that is pat of authorization. If you donot wana that credential promt you may configure you network with single sign on, it means when you logged in with your machine in your local network it will give you authentication automatically to the server so when you try to get services by server it will not ask any user name and password.

stalwar1 I have seen this happening. Once you reload the app you have to close the app and reopen it then only the section access will work. Weird behavior I learnt it the hard way.

That's not so weird. On the contrary, it is quite logical. If you enter a section-access protected document, you get data reduction on opening the document only. If in the same session you initiate a reload, you'll be loading all data in your data model again and no section access will be applied after that because you're not reopening the document. You're now able to look at all the data, which is why a USER reload should be disabled as much as possible in section-access protected documents.

You may ask yourself why it happens like this? Simple: if QlikView would reapply section access + data reduction after every reload, and the user decides to store the document, what data would be in the saved QVW file? And would anyone else still have access to this document?
