Solved: Recipient Import question - Qlik Community

hopkinsc · ‎2018-11-05

Hi all,

I have a problem that i am hoping someone could help with.

Is there a way to stop users from being deleted from an import. ?

I have a support user set up who is an administrator and has full access to NPrinting. This user was manually created and is also used in an API trigger to kick off an NPrinting task after the QVW has been reloaded.

I also have a recipient import task that runs once a month before a publish task runs (the import updates the recipients for the report distribution for the publish task).

i have to tick the option to remove any recipients that do not exist on the new import as the users change quite frequently.

What i am finding is that when the import runs, the support user is deleted as they are not on the new import list (the import list is created from QV and the support user details are not within the QV data).

I'm sure in NP16, a user would only be deleted from an import if they were originally imported from a task. if they were manually created then they would have to be manually deleted?? or am i wrong?

anyway, i am looking for a way to stop the support user from being deleted, i know i can add the user to the QV data but this also means changing the logic within the expressions to include this user in the results. so i would preferably like another way.

It would be useful if Qlik added a tick box against each user to 'never delete' the user.

any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Please specify what version are you using.

In any case in both series 16.* and 17+ of Qlik NPrinting an user can be deleted only by the import task that created it.

If you manually create a user or create a user by a second import task it cannot be deleted by the first import task.

So be sure that the support user was not created by the import task and after manually modified.

You can also try to create another support user manually and after run the task to be sure that it is not deleted.

Best Regards,

Ruggero

Hi Ruggero,

I am using version Sept 2018.

I have just tested the following..

1. create new 'Admin' user manually

2. Delete all other users

3. import list of users/filters (this list does not include the 'Admin' user i created in step 1)

The outcome was that the user created in step 1 has been deleted from the user list within NP and automatically logged me out.

One of the users that i imported had a role of Administrator, so i have logged in with that user and confirmed that the 'Admin' user has been deleted.
