Protecting databases with
accounts and privilege sets
This chapter describes the basics of how to use accounts and privilege sets to
restrict what users can see and do in a FileMaker Pro file. You’ll learn about:
1 planning security for a file
1 viewing and creating user accounts and passwords
1 viewing and creating privilege sets
1 viewing extended privileges
Note See Help for detailed, comprehensive information and step-by-step
procedures about using FileMaker Pro.
Although your operating system includes file security features, you should use
FileMaker Pro access privileges as the fundamental way to control access to
and protect the security of your database files.
For information about how security settings in older databases convert to the
current version of FileMaker Pro, see
“Converting databases from
FileMaker Pro 6 and earlier” on page 193 and see FileMaker Pro Help.
Protecting databases
You can limit what users can see and do in a database file. You can restrict:
1 Data access. Make particular records or fields from individual tables view-
only, or hide them completely.
1 Layout access. Prevent users from modifying layouts in Layout mode.
1 Access to value lists and scripts. Prevent users from accessing and
modifying value lists and scripts, and from running scripts.
1 Access to file sharing. Individually enable file sharing via the FileMaker
Network, Web Publishing, and ODBC and JDBC.
