Hi all.
need to give the thailand user access to whole EUROPE (all countries) and only to Thailand in APAC region. I do not want to list all EUROPE countries and Thailand in order to achive this. I would like to have something like :
USER, thailand, 1, EUROPE,
USER, thailand, 1, APAC, THAILAND
Is that possible? Please check attached qvw, username : admin, password : 1
Thank you for your help.
Hi,
You can use "*" (Wildcard) in Section Access. Something like this...
STAR is *;
Please be very careful using the '*' (Wildcard) because it doesn't mean all the values in the Actual Field. It means distinct values you have specified in Section Access Table. Unless you have specified all the distinct values within Section Access.
To overcome this problem you need to load all the Regions and Countries once...probably as concatenated load then you can use "*" wildcard.
However, much cleaner approach would be using most granular field in your dataset and in your case it's Country then do a left join to get all the Countries for Europe. This why it's easy to manage and it works very well.
Please check this thread: http://community.qlik.com/message/247356#247356
I hope this makes sense!

Hi Deepak.
thank you for your excellent answer, really highly appreciated!
However, this is exactly what I was trying to avoid, listing all countries and then using a *. The attached qvw was just a simplified version of the original problem.
But thanks anyway.
Best regards,
Ioannis.
Loannis,
You're most welcome. I'll look at your example and come back to you with a solution without using "*".
Stay tuned!

Ioannis Giakoumakis,
I've had a similar problem and I solved it using an authorization table (with wildcard) linked to the section access table.
Login, password
admin,admin
user1,user1
user2,user2
user3,user3
See the attached file. Hope it helps you.
