Section Access using Windows Authentication

Hello all,

This question/ doubt is related to Section Access. I have an application which is placed in shared path. I am not publishing this application to users so user s has to access this application from the shared path only. All users have QV software installed in their machines. Now I want to restrict the access from all the users. Users should be able to open this application only if they provide their Windows username and password i.e. the Credentials they use to Logon their machines over the company network.

Once they login, the data should be reduced based on the users i.e. employees should not be able to see the data which manager is seeing. Please give me heads up on this to proceed.

Regards,

Sharma

Hi

I have similar need. Defined the section access as follows:

Section ACCESS;

LOAD * INLINE [

    ACCESS, NTUSER, CLIENTID

    ADMIN, CLOUD02\ADMINISTRATOR, *

    USER, CLOUD02\QLIKVIEW, 20

    USER, CLOUD02\TR_MGM, 14

    USER, CLOUD02\KM_MGM, 20

];

First administrator logs in and we have both data 14 and 20.

Next when another user qlikview logins in, we get both.

Data is not reduced. For any user login, all data of 14 and 20 are shown.

If first tr_mgm logs in, the data is reduced, but the same data is available for next user km_mgm?

In the web browser too, the data is not reduced as per the client id in section access.  Last reloaded data is shown

In the document properties, "initial data reduction" is checked.

thanks
