Give access to Qlikview documents in Small Business Edition without publisher

[mayuranp]

I have a brand new installation of Qlikview Small Business Edition server. We don't have publisher.

We have five qlikview applications, one for each country.
UK.qvw, FR.qvw, DE.qvw, US.qvw and JP.qvw.

There are five Active Directory groups, one for each document.

I want to give UK active directory group users access to UK.qvw and so on.

---

I had done the following steps.

1. Under System --> Setup --> Server -->  Security --> Authorization --> selected NTFS authorization
2. In windows explorer --> right click on the folder that contains the UK.qvw document and gives access to UK active directory group.
3. I repeated the steps for all the documents.

---

When the UK user logs into Qlikview access point, they can see all five documents and can open any documents.

Am I missing a step here?

Make sure those users are not members of any other group that has read access to those files.

Found a workaround but there should be a better solution.

For each document, I have added all 5 AD groups and gave access to the right group and explicitly deny access to other 4 groups.

Now it is working. However, there should be a better way.

I found the solution:

Right click on the folder containing the QVW app.

Go to security and click Advanced

Disable the inheritance and click ok

Remove the access to all users (<Servername>\Users)

Add QlikService account and Administartors group and give full control

Add the appropriate AD group and give read access

Click ok.

Repeat the above steps for all the folders that contain Qlikview apps. In my case, I had to do for each country folder.

This is working fine now.
