FILEMAKER FUNCTIONS REFERENCE 115

Description

Returns:

• 0 if the custom record privileges of an account’s privilege set have neither View nor Edit

privileges set to yes for the current record

• 1 if the custom record privileges of an account’s privilege set have View set to yes for the

current record, or if View is set to limited and the calculation defined for limited access

returns a value of true

Note If both View and Edit are set to yes, Get(RecordAccess) returns 2

• 2 if the custom record privileges of an account’s privilege set have Edit set to yes for the

current record, or if Edit is set to limited and the calculation defined for limited access

returns a value of true

Notes

• Get(RecordAccess) only returns information about the privileges defined for

accessing records. It ignores access privileges assigned through individual layouts. To

fully check access to a record, consider the return values of the

Get(LayoutAccess)

function and Get(RecordAccess).

• If you specify the context for the current calculation, this function will be evaluated

based on that context; otherwise, it will be evaluated based on the context of the current

window.

• For information on how functions evaluate differently on the host versus the client,

search the FileMaker Knowledge Base available at

www.filemaker.com/kb.

Examples

Returns 1 when the record access is view-only.
