To Do this
• Allow printing.
• Allow saving records as a PDF file.
• Allow printing using the Print from Finder
Apple event.
Choose Allow printing.
• Allow exporting records.
• Allow saving records as an Excel file.
• Allow copying all records in the found set to
the Clipboard.
• Allow importing records from a FileMaker file.
• Allow saving a copy of records.
• OS X: Allow querying of data using the
following Apple events: GetCellValue, Field
Contents, Record Value, Table Contents, and
Layout Contents.
Choose Allow exporting.
Note: In Windows, clearing this option has no
effect on
ActiveX Automation. In OS X, clearing
this option only prohibits Apple events that
access data; other Apple events will still work.
• Allow users of this privilege set to enable and
disable extended privileges when setting up
FileMaker Network Sharing, Web Publishing,
and
ODBC/JDBC sharing.
• Allow users of this privilege set to edit
extended privileges only in the Manage
Security dialog box.
Choose Manage extended privileges.
Allow entering data that doesn’t match the
validation options set for a field.
Choose Allow user to override data validation
warnings.
Note This setting is ignored when a field is
defined to prohibit field validation overrides (by
clearing the Allow user to override validation
option). See
Defining field validation.
Disconnect the user of a shared file from
FileMaker
Server software when the user is idle.
(This typically improves FileMaker
Server
performance.)
Choose Disconnect user from server when
idle.
Note If you’re hosting shared files with
FileMaker
Server, see About disconnecting users
from FileMaker Server when idle.
Allow users of this privilege set to change their
password.
Choose Allow user to modify their own
password.
Require users of this privilege set to change their
password after a certain number of days.
(When the number of days has elapsed, the next
time each user opens the file, a Change
Password dialog box will appear. The user must
change the password in order to open the file.)
Choose Must be changed every <n> days, and
enter the number of days.
Note If you choose this option without also
choosing Allow user to modify their own
password, then an account with Full Access
privileges must change the password instead of
the account assigned this privilege set. (In most
cases, you should either choose or clear both
options together.)
