Hello

I have created a report in Qlikview and distributed it to a specific folder. The reports are created normally but they requiere a password to access. Is there a way to dissable the password when creating the reports?

 

Thanks

The underlying issue is in the distribution, it seems you may have addressed things by setting All Authenticated, but you can also specify users or groups there as well, and that should set the NTFS rights upon distribution.  You do this on the Distribute tab settings of the Task, but you must have Publisher license, if you just have the Reload Engine, you would have to ensure you are manually setting folder or QVW permissions accordingly there.  Best I can offer with the information provided.

Hello @langelwong 

Can you provide us with more details on what the password prompt looks like and how you are attempting to access the document?

Does the document have Section Access? If so, and the Section Access doesn't match whatever Windows user is logged on at the time of opening the document, then the user will be prompted.
