Qlikview Security

Hi,

How do you grant access to qlikview document, so that users can only see sheets which has been given access for example sales reps can see only sales sheet, finance people can see only finance sheet.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You may assign each user to a role, like Sales, Finance, Operations etc. On this basis you can hide / make visible any sheet or any other object (Properties - Layout - Show - Conditional and enter a formula like MyUserGroup = 'Finance' would show it only to Finance-guys.

it depends how your users are accessing QlikView and what mode your server is running in. Assuming that it is the standard NT, you can do a quick and dirty conditional show based on a load of IFs and OSUser = 'username'

Something more robust is around section access- search for it here or have a look in your reference manual.

Thanks Peter.

Do you mean something like this in inline:

User MyUserGroup

amitsinha Finance

peterrieper operations

and then apply conditional show.

Is user windows loginid?

There are multiple ways: You may work with fixed access-script, like USERID PASSWORD MyUserGroup. Alternative you may rely on Windows-access and just link NT-names (those used at login) with the group-name.

hello,

i tried doing this:

Usr:



LOAD * INLINE [

User, MyUserGroup

JOSE, MANAGER

MARIA, OTHER

];





when i put a condition on object properties, it disappears for any user log in. What i´m doing wrong? i tried using also the function QVUser() but nothing.

thanks!
