Chapter 10. Security
Until now, we have focused our efforts on getting data into QlikView and presenting it in dashboards, analyses, and reports. Our documents were open to anyone with access to QlikView. As QlikView documents can contain huge volumes of sensitive data, in a real world scenario, leaving your data unsecured might be a very risky proposition.
In this chapter, we will focus on how we can secure our QlikView documents. We will first look at how we can make parts of the script only accessible to a limited group of developers. Next, we will see how we can ensure that only authorized users have access to our document. We will finish this chapter by looking at how we can set different permissions for authorized users and can limit which data a user can interact with.
Specifically, in this chapter you will learn:
How to create a hidden script that is only accessible to a select group of developers
How to allow only authorized users to open your document
How to limit what a user can do...
