QlikView User Management

In QlikView, user management refers to the process of controlling access to the QlikView application and its data, as well as managing user accounts and permissions.

Here are some tasks that you may be able to accomplish with QlikView’s user management features:

1. Create and manage user accounts: You can create and manage user accounts in QlikView using the QlikView Management Console (QMC). This includes setting up login credentials, assigning user roles, and specifying which documents and data sources the user has access to.
2. Control access to data: You can use QlikView’s security features to control access to data, both at the document level and at the field level. For example, you can specify which users can access specific documents, or restrict access to certain fields within a document.
3. Manage user permissions: You can use QlikView’s user roles and permissions system to specify what actions users are allowed to perform within the application. For example, you can allow certain users to create and edit documents, while restricting access for others.
4. Set up and manage security protocols: QlikView supports various security protocols, including LDAP, Windows Authentication, and SAML. You can set up and manage these protocols in the QMC to control access to the QlikView application and ensure the security of your data.
5. Monitor user activity: You can use QlikView’s audit log to monitor user activity and track changes made to documents and data sources. This can help you identify any unauthorized access or suspicious activity within the application.

Overall, QlikView’s user management features give you the ability to regulate who has access to your data and make sure that only those who are permitted may do so.

QlikView has a built-in user management system that allows administrators to control access to the system and to data within the system. The user management system consists of the following components:

• User accounts: Each user who needs access to QlikView must have a user account. User accounts can be set up manually or imported from a directory service such as Active Directory.
• User groups: User groups are used to organize users into logical groups. User groups can be used to assign permissions to users and to control access to data.
• User profiles: User profiles define the level of access that a user has to the system and to data. User profiles can be assigned to individual users or to user groups.
• Data reduction: Data reduction is used to limit the amount of data that a user can access. Data reduction is typically used in conjunction with user profiles to control access to sensitive data.
• Authentication: QlikView supports a variety of authentication methods including Windows Authentication, DMS Authentication and Custom Authentication.
• Authorization:The level of access a user has to the system and to the data is determined by the user’s profile after authentication. Access for users to particular sheets, objects, variables, and fields can be allowed or refused.
• Auditing: QlikView has a built-in auditing system that tracks user activity such as logins, logouts, and data access. This information can be used to monitor system usage and to troubleshoot issues.

The user management system in QlikView allows administrators to control access to the system and to data in a granular way. This makes it possible to ensure that users only see the material necessary for their jobs and that only authorised users have access to sensitive information.
