FILEMAKER PRO HELP 1278
Because the performance of the host can be affected by the number of active connections it must
maintain, in most cases, you should edit privilege sets to disconnect users from the host computer
when they are idle. Because you can set this option on a privilege set basis, you set certain users to
be disconnected while permitting other users to always maintain their connections.
Review the following notes for more details on disconnecting clients of shared files.
Notes
• The FileMaker Server administrator sets the length of time that FileMaker Pro users can be
idle in any database hosted by FileMaker
Server. The FileMaker Pro Disconnect user
from server when idle option determines whether or not a FileMaker
Pro client
disconnects a user from a particular database. Because users who are disconnected have
to reopen the file, FileMaker
Server administrators should make sure the idle time is long
enough not to annoy users with frequent disconnections.
• For the privilege set assigned to the Guest account, you most likely should enable
Disconnect user from server when idle. This will prevent users who open a file with guest
access from remaining connected when idle.
• In the Full Access privilege set, the Disconnect user from server when idle option is
disabled and cannot be enabled. Therefore users with Full Access privileges remain
connected to FileMaker
Server when idle.
• For information on setting the Disconnect user from server when idle option, see Editing
other privileges.
