Showing User Names with Access to a QlikView Application in the Application

[mccook]

Hi,

I've had a request, for an application with sensitive data, to show on the dashboard of the application the names of the people who have been given access to use the application, which will update nightly (or perfect world, live) with any changes.

We grant users access by going to QlikView Management Console, Documents, User Documents, Selecting the Application and then  in the Authorisation Ssection, adding Named Users.

Is this something thats possible?

Cheers,

Dean

Excellent, seems to work.

Thanks,

One issue I have encountered is that occasionally there is extra data that throws out one or two final values. If you have attributes or document descriptions, this will append to the last entry. Easiest way to split this is to manually add a delimiter of your own under Manual input of user names (or at the end of the list if not using a directory scope) and split on that.

Hi JV,

This is a neat way to get CAL data, but I think it has limitations in some installations. The XMLs only contain the accounts of the assigned users as entered on Documents > Document CALs tab in QMC, so dynamically assigned users (and users who are Named User CALs) are not exposed in the XML. Reading the .META file gets the names of all possible users for each document, although it isn't an ideal way of getting the info.
