3. To set individual privileges for each layout in the file, for Layouts, choose Custom
privileges. In the Custom Layout Privileges dialog box, select each layout (or select Any
New Layout to set privileges for any layout created later) and set the privileges you want for
it. When you’re through setting privileges for individual layouts, click OK.
Tip You can also set individual privileges for multiple layouts at once by first selecting multiple
layouts in the Custom Layout Privileges dialog box. See the Notes section below.
Important In the Custom Layout Privileges dialog box, the View only and No access
options for Records via this layout protect only a single view of data on a layout by layout
basis, which may not protect all instances of the data, such as scripts that access data and
relationships that display the data in other files. To limit access to all occurrences of specific
tables, records, or fields no matter where they are displayed or accessed, use record
access privileges. See
How layouts privileges and record privileges interact and Editing
record access privileges.
4. In the Edit Privilege Set dialog box, define any other privileges for the privilege set.
For details on the different privileges you can define, see:
