How to use section access with windows authentication to hide certain sheets?

[#1]

Hi.

I have an dashboard on my Qlikview Server (Small Business Edition).

There are about 10 users which are authenticated via Windows.

They are part of a windows group called QV_ABNAMRO.

Now, certain user's can't see certain Sheets. How can I accomplish this?

I've read about Section Access. But do I need to specify all the users to give them explicit access? (thus, when a new user is added in windows, I explicitly need to add them into the section access file?) Or is it possible to ONLY define the user which needs an restriction?

Hello,

You can create a field in section access and use it as condition to display some tabs.

This can help you

You can't directly use Section Access for showing/hiding sheets since Section Access is only about restricting data. Instead you can do something like Yoann is suggesting where you use load some data that controls who can see which sheets. Just be aware that just hiding the sheets doesn't prevent users from having access to the data. A user can still create an object and show the data that are on the hidden sheet.

Hello,

All you need to do is to load an inline table that includes the roles. This table does not need to fit into the whole model; it may be an island.

Example (pseudocode):

1.

ROLE:

load * INLINE:

[ROLE

ADMIN

SALES

PRODUCTION];

then

apply section access, something like:

2.

ACCESS, NTNAME, ROLE

ADMIN, DOMAIN\ADMIN, ADMIN

USER, DOMAIN\USER1, SALES

USER, DOMAIN\USER2, PRODUCTION

3.

Go to sheet properties-->Conditional Display. Write something like ROLE='SALES', if you want the SALES team to see that sheet from now on.
