As we saw in the previous chapter, the QlikView Management Console (QMC) is opened by going to the URL http://servername:4780/QMC/default.htm. If you are working on the server, then localhost can be used for the server name.

Only users who are members of the QlikView Administrators group on the server running the QlikView Management service have full access to the QMC. The user that was logged in while running the installation and the user name that was specified as the service user during the installation process will both be added to the QlikView Administrators group by default. Note that, if you are not logged into your PC (or the server or a Remote Desktop session) as one of those users, you will get an Access Denied message that tells you: Membership of local security groups is missing.
