Can I put the OSUSER() at CSV file when implement access control ?

Hi All , 

I like to know for section access control script , it is possible to save in CSV file ? So that the IT Staff who maintain the Qlik QVW don’t need to touch the script. Just need to update the excel file.

i notice most of the people put the section access script at load script.

Yes, section access table, in terms of loading, it's yet another table. INLINE, FROM, SQL SELECT will work.

You could use an Include variable or a FROM File.csv (txt). But bear in mind that, if for any reason the file is not there, or it is corrupt, or otherwise non-functional, the application will get you locked out and nobody will be able to open it.

That's why I would approach adding some INLINE within the script for ADMIN access (e.g.: developers, QlikView service account), somewhere in the script, then add this CSV file with the non-admin users so if the file is broken, at least the application will still be able to be open.
