These implementation steps allow you to assign groups to a user profile so that you can test logging in as different users.

Requirements

  • Qlik Sense Server (does not work with Desktop) Nov/2017 Release or higher.
  • Access to QMC, to update modify User Directory Connectors.
  • Already completed the Basic Installations steps.
  • Microsoft Excel 64bit ODBC Driver Installed Download. NOTE: If you have to install the driver, you may have to restart the server before setting up the UDC.
  • Ability to add users to your Operating System.

Setup Qlik Sense UDC:

  1. From Qlik Sense QMC > User directory connectors...
  2. Create New Connector, Type = Excel (ODBC)
  3. NAME: "Excel UDC"
  4. SYNC USER DATA FOR EXISTING USERS - Uncheck
  5. USER DIRECTORY NAME: [Provide your user directory name] - Check out "QMC > Users" to see what yours is
  6. USER TABLE NAME: [Users$]
  7. ATTRIBUTES TABLE NAME: [Attributes$]
  8. VISIBLE CONNECTION STRING: DRIVER={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb)};DBQ=Your_Unzip_Path\data\UsersUDC.xlsx

Setup Users:

  1. In Excel, open the "Your_Unzip_Path\data\UsersUDC.xlsx"
  2. In Windows, use "Local Users and Groups" application to add users.
  3. Create a new user, for each user in the Excel file (suggestion: make password as as userid for testing purposes). Make sure to uncheck "must change password", and check "password never expires".

Update and publish application:

  6. Publish the "Multilingual & Multi Tenant-Department Sampler" app to a stream available to your users (probably Everyone).

Test Setup:

  1. Open your Qlik Sense URL
  2. Log in as each user created above
  3. From the Stream, open the "Multilingual & Multi Tenant-Department Sampler"
  4. Navigate to the first sheet and see that it is in the user's preferred language.
