Secure parameters to a QlikSense report?

Apologies, I'm researching the feasibility of using Qlik software for an upcoming project.

The remit is simple enough - allow a user to log in to (our) application, select a location of some sort (still from our application), and then request to display one or more reports from a list.

Due to the nature of the data we work with, security is important.  So having got my user id and location id, I now want to display report X passing in those two parameters in a way that isn't exposed in any way to the user.  Other report parameter selections aren't so secure, but the initial two parameter selections would be.   I don't want to expose any way for somebody to do a quick hack of an iframe url to change the user id so they can see values for a different user.

Is that level of security possible with QlikSense? (ie. how do I pass secure parameters to a report)

Many thanks.

First off, QlikSense is a dashboard, if you need reports, use NPrinting.

Second, Section Access would be the mechanism to secure data based on field values in QlikSense

The parameters for reporting in NPrinting would not be user accessible if done through a task and having the report delivered.
