About enabling record-level access
You can set individual record access for each table. For example, the privilege set can limit the
ability to:
1 View, edit, create, or delete all or certain records within each table.
1 Access or modify certain fields within each table.
You can only set record access privileges for tables defined in the current file. If the file contains
relationships to tables in other files that you want to protect, you need to create accounts and
privilege sets in the other files to protect those tables.
For more information about using the Edit Privilege Set dialog box, see Help.
Viewing extended privileges
Extended privileges determine the data sharing options that are permitted by a privilege set for a
file. For example, if the file is shared, the Access via FileMaker Network extended privilege
determines if the privilege set allows opening the shared file as a client. The Access via Instant
Web Publishing extended privilege determines whether the privilege set allows accessing the
database from a web browser.
There are six default extended privileges. For more information about them, see “Accounts,
privilege sets, and extended privileges” on page 129.
