Editing extended privileges for a privilege set
Privilege sets can limit extended privileges, which determine whether and how a shared file is
accessible. For a file, you can set whether a privilege set is permitted to:
• open a shared file with the File menu > Open Remote command
• access a database file from a web browser via FileMaker WebDirect
• access a database file as an ODBC or JDBC data source
• access a database hosted on FileMaker Server
• access a database file in FileMaker Go without having to re-login
• access any other features controlled through additional extended privileges that may be
defined
Note Enabling extended privileges only makes it allowable for certain privilege sets to access
shared data. To actually access the shared data, you must also set up sharing for the type of access
that you want. See
Sharing databases on a network, Sharing FileMaker Pro data via ODBC or
JDBC, or Publishing databases on the web.
For more information about extended privileges, see About accounts, privilege sets, and extended
privileges.
To edit extended privileges for a privilege set:
1. Start editing a new or existing privilege set.
Display the Edit Privilege Set dialog box. See Creating new privilege sets or Editing existing
privilege sets.
Note If the File menu > Manage > Security menu is dimmed, your privileges do not permit you
to access it. See the note below for another possible way to edit extended privileges.
2. In the Extended Privileges list, select the extended privileges you want to enable, and
clear the ones you want to disable.
The following table lists the default extended privileges that are available.
