limit export to excel by user

Hi - Is it possible to prevent a certain USER from exporting/downloading to excel from a document? They should still be allowed the option to print. 

Any ideas would be great, thanks!

Thanks Michael.  With regard to the show button, I was going to remove export and print for that user on the doc, then for him/her only create a button to print visible for that user, but I see that wouldn't work as I've removed the ability to do it at a higher level. 

thanks for your time, much appreciated.

Hi Lynn,

This is what I received back from the trainer:

Printing for all – Send to Excel for some:

This was the procedure as I remember it:

  • Section Access on the document
  • Normal users defined as USER in Section Access
  • Users with Send-to-Excel rights defined as ADMIN in Section Access
  • Setup Security in Document Properties on the document like this:

QlikView Management Console > Task Properties > Server > Availability > User Privileges: Print Export To Excel | Named Users (select users).

Use Windows user accounts for large groups in the distribution list. An individual user can not override a group. However, if you add the individual user to the distribution list and the export exception list it will then override the group.
