Overriding Section Access

[#1]

Hi there!

Chief designer is in holidays and i have received complaints about an application that is guarded by an inline section access.

How can i open the app and override the section access? I have something in mind like pressing shift or ctrl and double-clicking the application. That didn't work yet.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Best regards /Jan

Are you talking about accessing a hidden script? Or do you want to change the script so that the data reduction invoked by section access is not actioned?

Hi Gordon,

thanx 4 your answer!

The application is protected by a section access statement that is included in the script:

That prohibits to open the application for all other users. I think i remember some kind of trick to open the application without passing the section access. Do you happen to know something about this?

Jan,

As far as I know there is no 'back door' with Section Access.

I asume you want to add/amend user accesses? Can you not get at the script using Enterprise?

Incidentally, I hold all my section access data in a spreadsheet (one sheet per document) that resides on the server and has strict object authorities to prevent unauthorised access. This I believe has two advantages

1 accesses are all together in the same place

2 they are seperate from the documents so do not need a Qlikview developer to maintain access control

Hi Gordon,

this is how we do it, too. Usually.. I do not why it was done differently in this application.

I am simply trying to access it (open it). I can't, due to section access and because it was forgotten to add my user name.

If there is no solution, the user has to wait until the programmer is back in place...

Cheers & thx /J
