16 | Introducing FileMaker Pro
You can search for and replace data across multiple fields, similar to the way
you find and replace data in word processing applications.
For more information about finding, sorting, and replacing data, see “Finding
records” on page 40, “Sorting records” on page 58, and “Finding and replacing
data” on page 56.
Protecting databases with accounts and privilege sets
You can restrict what users see and do in a database file by defining accounts
and privilege sets. Accounts authenticate users who are attempting to open a
protected file. Each account specifies an account name and (usually) a
password. Any user that cannot specify valid account information won’t be
able to open a protected file. A privilege set specifies a level of access to a
database file. Each account is assigned a privilege set, which determines the
level of access when someone opens a file using that account.
Extended privileges determine the data sharing options that are permitted by a
privilege set, such as whether a privilege set permits users to open a shared file
or view a database in a web browser.
For more information about accounts and privilege sets, see chapter 6,
“Protecting databases with accounts and privilege sets.”
