Hi All,
Can anybody tell what is the difference between NTFS and DMS authorization in QMC?
Thanks.
NTFS authorization means that access (permissions) to QlikView documents are managed by way of NTFS rights. The main consequence towards QlikView users is that a user should exist in AD or you cannot assign NTFS rights.
DMS authorization means that QlikView itself will manage access & permissions to QlikView documents. This has a big impact with respect to what you are now able to do for QlikView users:
Best,
Peter

NTFS - Windows will manage users you need not create separate user and password for qlikview.
DMS - You can create your own users & password (CustomDirectory.xml) and qlikview will authenticate the same.

NTFS - Windows will manage the users, If you see the properties of the application which is deployed you can find the users list.
DMS - Qlikview will control the file, In this method once the application is deployed we have to manually add the users under user documents --> Applicaiton --> authorization. in this Qlikview will keep the list of users which is stored in .meta file.
Authorization tab will be enabled only in DMS authorization.
Note that in order to be able to use DMS in the first place, you need an Enterprise Edition license of QlikView Server.
if you are using enterprise edition then after enabling DMS mode you don't need to worry whether user is added in local folder security , it will be taken care.
Using DMS is good option , you just need to take care of user documents --> Applicaiton --> authorization and don't need to worry about local folder access
