Password Protection with or without Section Access

[sunny_talwar]

Hi Experts

Is it possible to password protect a QVW document without using Section Access?

Thanks,

Sunny

Message was edited by: Sunny T Updated the title so that people don't get confused about the selected solution. The important thing is that I needed to accomplish my requirement which was to have a password protected document without linking it to any specific user. I was under the impression that it wasn't possible using Section Access, but I was proved wrong. So changing the title from '...without Section Access' to '...with or without Section Access'.

On my way to home. Will test it as soon as I get time

You have solution to any and every problem ever came across in QlikView

That was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

Best,

Sunny

Stefan it worked one time and the next time I open it doesn't ask for a password and also I am seeing something weird that once I have Section Access, the option to look at the Hidden Script is going away. Is this normal?

I just tried the same in macros and thought to share here (Since you asked without section access). Password: 1234

Hi Sunny,

change ACCESS to ADMIN, USER has restricted rights set in Settings - Document properties - Security, hence limitations like hidden script hidden.

If you once logged in into a QVW with section access, you won't be asked for credentials again as long as you are using the same application instance. Close the instance and reopen. You should be queried again.

The problem with using an OnOpen trigger and Macro code is that you can disable the trigger when opening the QVW, keeping SHIFT pressed.

It just asked me for the password only once until I changed the user settings:

Unchecked 'Remember Login Credentials Until QlikView Exits' and it asked me for a password everytime.

Thanks for your help Stefan and for great ideas Sinan and Tamil.

Best,

Sunny

Is this not the use of Section Access??

[sunny_talwar]

Hahahaha it is . But intitially I was under the impression that there is no way I can get my requirement accomplished using Section Access, but it seems I was wrong.

Wrong?

Can we achieve it without Section access?
