Security in any context is critically important. It becomes especially important
when applied to the enterprise software solutions that organizations rely
upon to make decisions based on sensitive information. Ensuring that the
right people have access to the right information at the right time and no
one else is a critical part of being able to support decision making. Company
performance, employee payroll, sales data, personally identifable information
and forecast information are just some examples of company information that
are commonly represented within QlikView applications.
Security in QlikView is multi-faceted and powerful but is also easy to
implement and familiar to IT professionals. This paper will discuss the
following topics as applied to QlikView:

• Authorization. What are you allowed to see? What are you allowed to do?
• Implementation. How do you implement security in QlikView?
