3. 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:
• Editing record access privileges
• Editing layouts privileges
• Editing value list privileges
• Editing scripts privileges
• Editing extended privileges for a privilege set
4. When you’ve finished editing this privilege set, click OK.
You see the Manage Security dialog box again.
5. Do one of the following:
• If you’ve finished working with accounts and privileges, click OK. In the dialog box that
appears, enter an account name and password that is assigned the Full Access
privilege set, and click OK.
• To assign the privilege set to one or more accounts, see Creating accounts or Editing
existing accounts.
Notes
• In most cases, a privilege set should not allow password changes if it is assigned to one or
more
accounts that are shared by multiple users. Instead, an administrator with Full Access
privileges should change the password periodically and then provide it to all the users that
need it.
• The password change and password character length privileges described above apply
only to FileMaker-authenticated accounts, not External Server-authenticated accounts. See
About accounts, privilege sets, and extended privileges.
• Even if you set Available menu commands to Editing only, record access privileges and
layouts privileges can still prohibit the editing of certain fields, records, and data on certain
layouts. See Editing record access privileges and Editing layouts privileges.
Specify a minimum character length for new
passwords.
Choose Minimum password length, and enter
the number of characters.
Specify that only a limited set of menu
commands are available when the file is active.
For Available menu commands, choose one of
the following:
• All to enable all menu commands except
those specifically disabled by other privilege
set options.
• Editing only to enable only basic editing
commands in
Browse mode.
• Minimum to disable all menu commands
except those that open, close, and create
database files, switch between database
windows, perform
scripts, open
FileMaker Pro Help, or change preference
options.
