Access denied to this Qlik view document

[johnjustus]

Hi,

When I try to open an QVW in personal edition, it throws pop-up windows that says "Access denied to this Qlik view document"

But all other QVW's, I am able to open.

Does anyone has any idea?

Thanks,

John

The document you opened might be having security implemented. so you are unable to open it.

Please ask the developer to add your username to the security part, to access the document.

Thanks for the information.

The original developer left.

What other options left?

Does the dashboard is hosted in Server? if so they might have added your functional ID in the script.

Login using functional ID and add your details.

If it is a local copy of your developer then you cant open it without his/her credentials.

I didn't get that.

The QVW is hosted on the server. I have access to folder where the qvw sits on.

How do I and where do I see my functional ID, I am unable to open the qvw hence no visibility to the script.

Folder access is different, if your application is hosted in Qlikview server, the UserID which is used to create task or install Qlikview is the functional id.

That ID might have access to the Dashboard.

But not sure whether your developer added that ID to the Security part.

I tried to open using the ID that Qlikview service service runs on.

But this time I get an different error message "This was created using different user....... continue....

I clicked continue but again Access Denied error.

Try to Apply License or Lease the License from the Server. So that the error would go.

Whether this application is reloading daily or schedule for reload in the server?

[johnjustus]

How do we launch Qlikview personal edition as different user?

Like "Run as". Is it possible?

Thanks

I hope no, you can't do. Login to the system with the credentials is the only way.
