creating an accespassword

Hello Community,

is it possible to lock the objects and the script with a password, so people who are working with the dashboard can't see the script and the expressions of all charts? Users should only be able to load in the script but not manipulating the objects or scripts.

If I right-click on an empty field and go to properties and then security, I can give rights to users. But everyone can change it back anytime.

Is there any other solution ?

Hope you can help me here.

when you talk about script ,you're meaning the script you find in script editor or in object properties ?

for the first one you can :

* use "QlikView Script file" which is just a plain text file containing a QlikView script. You can create it from inside the script editor (File -> Export to script file) and you can use it using an include command (Insert -> Include statement).

*or  use a seconde application juste for reporting in which you don't do any load script except a binary  load for a first application .

for object propeties you can do like i explain before.

Is this a solution for only QlikSense or even for Qlikview?

HI,

Try to use section access ,and give the users for who you restrict the access to the security tab  ACCESS='USER'

like this :

Section Access;

LOAD * INLINE [

    ACCESS, NTNAME

    ADMIN,user_a

    USER,user_b

  

];

Section Application;

by this way user_a can't acess to the security tab , but user_b can do it .

But how can I differentiate Admin and User? And there is no password being asked. I copy paste your solution

Section Access;

LOAD * INLINE [

    ACCESS, NTNAME

    ADMIN,user_a

    USER,user_b

  

];

Section Application;

in my script.

But nothing really changed. Can you help me out there?

you have to change script depending to your need .

ine user_a and b you put the ntname of users  .

in access you put 'admin' for users for who you want to garantee access to security tab and for simple user you put 'user' .

after that go to settings --> sheet properties-->security and unchek all the boxs .

make a copy of you application before doing that .

Oh ok I understand. So I have to enter the Name of "Computer User". I just tried it and it works. . Actually I just want to locked the whole objects and the script with a passwort. Or something like Qlikview is asking for Login and password which you have to enter at the beginning, when u open the file. Depending on the Userlogin the whole file should be restricted. Because I want to send my QV-File to customers and i dont want them to have the same access like me. Is there not a simple way to do that?
