Hi Kamal,

using OSuser like that should work fine, check the case or upper everything, might just be a case sensitivity issue.

The other option you have is section access, maybe have a look here

Sheets Security with Section Access

hope that helps

Hi,

you are correct with OS user, when you say it's not working, do you mean that the sheet is VISIBLE to all OR HIDDEN?

Andy

OSuser should be in the format DOMAIN\USER

I used different id's including mine.. but it is always visible..

Although, it should be visible to me only..

Yes.. I have already checked that .. 

I observed something strange.. When I just copied that condition in new qlikview file.. It started working as it supposed to be..

Any idea what can be the wrong with my exiting qvw.

Thanks
