QlikView Reference Manual.pdf - QlikCommunity - QlikView

If an access section is defined in the script, the part of the script loading the ”normal” data must be put in a
different section, initiated by the statement section application.
Example:
Section Access;
Load * inline
[ACCESS,USERID,PASSWORD
ADMIN, A,X
USER,U,Y ];
Section Application;
Load... ... from... ...
29.5 Access Levels in Section Access
Access to QlikView documents can be authorized for specified users or groups of users. In the security table,
users can be assigned to the access levels ADMIN or USER. If no access level is assigned, the user cannot
open the QlikView document.
A person with ADMIN access can change everything in the document. Using the Security page in the Document
Properties and Sheet Properties dialogs, a person with ADMIN access can limit the users’ possibilities
of modifying the document. A person with USER privileges cannot access the Security pages.
Note!
ADMIN rights are only relevant for local documents! Documents opened on a Server are always accessed
with USER rights.
29.6 Section Access System Fields
The access levels are assigned to users in one or several tables loaded within the section access. These tables
can contain several different user-specific system fields, typically USERID and PASSWORD, and the field
defining the access level, ACCESS. All Section Access system fields will be used for authentication or
authorization. The full set of section access system fields are described below.
None, all, or any combination of the security fields may be loaded in the access section. It is thus not necessary
to use USERID – an authorization can be made using other fields, e.g. serial number only.
ACCESS A field that defines what access the corresponding user should have.
USERID A field that should contain an accepted user ID. QlikView will prompt for a User ID and
compare it to the value in this field. This user ID is not the same as the Windows user
ID.
PASSWORD A field that should contain an accepted password. QlikView will prompt for a Password
and compare it to the value in this field. This password is not the same as the Windows
password.
SERIAL A field that should contain a number corresponding to the QlikView serial number.
Example: 4900 2394 7113 7304
QlikView will check the serial number of the user and compare it to the value in this
field.
