Users lose access to QlikView documents on the AccessPoint, and / or are removed from the Authorization tab visible in the User Documents listing.
Environment:
QlikView
Permissions were granted based on the User Documents list. The User Documents Authorization list did not align with the Source Document (Distribution Task). The .META file was updated with incorrect information, and users lost access.
Each time the QlikView Publisher reloads and then distributes a document, the distribution settings will override the permissions given directly on the User Document. Any changes that are not reflected in the distribution list, are discarded.
Resolution
Set permissions correctly in the Distribution list, and redistribute the document.
Permissions may have been granted based on one of the available Authorization options. For more information regarding NTFS and DMS, see our Online Help.
NTFS
If NTFS security is being used, Users may have been given permissions directly on the File System
DMS
Users have been added to the Authorization tab visible in the QlikView Management Console > Documents > User Documents > Authorizatoin Tab on each individual document
Directory Service Connectors
Make sure that each dsc@server is added under System > QlikView Webservers > general > Directory Service Connectors
