number
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
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
http://help.filemaker.com.
See Editing record access privileges for more details about limiting access to records.
Examples
Returns 1 when the record access is view-only.
