Below is a simple example of Section Access. After applying below script, user CU with ADMIN access cannot able to open documents from Access Point, whereas user CU1 with USER access rights can open documents successfully both on Desktop and Server level.

Section Access; 
LOAD * INLINE [ 
 ACCESS, USERID, PASSWORD
 ADMIN,     CU,         CU 
 USER,      CU1,       CU1
 USER,      CU2,       CU2
];
Section Application;


 Environment:


 

Resolution:


In Section Access, "ADMIN access rights are only applicable for documents opened manually on the local machine.  Documents opened on a Server are always accessed with USER Access rights, So CU1 & CU2 can open documents from Access Point and manually." This is working as expected. 

See Access Levels in Section Access for more details. 

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.
