The sheet will be closed when the password will be deleted or enetered incorrectly.

Whenever user closes the document the password will clear itself if u save the document with empty password and next time he will open the document he need to insert password again.

If u use the same text color as background color (i.e. white) , the password will be invisible after it is entered.

no it's test.qvw you can crack by entering 1=1

password.qvw seems more safe, probably beccause sheshele didn't use the $ caracter in the conditional test.

How is distributed your doc ?

If it is via a server and open in IE, you don't need to close the sheet or reset the password, because each time you reopen it it reset to the state you saved in in your desktop client.

If you just share your .qvw the method presented here is not safe because your users will be able to access the tab properties even without the password and open them anyway. In that case you will have to use section access.

In my practice I use section access as foloows:

Section Access;

LOAD ACCESS,

     NTNAME,

     ROLE

FROM

[\\Qlikview\access.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is ACCESS);

Section Application;

PERMISSIONS:

LOAD ROLE

FROM

[\\Qlikview\access.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is ROLE);

Then in Sheet properties -> Conditional I enter

= ROLE='User1' OR ROLE='User2' (and normally I add OR ISNULL(ROLE) because when u reload document it clear the ROLE)
