To edit which privilege sets may use an extended privilege:
1. Choose File menu > Manage > Security.
Note If the Security menu command 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 Manage Security dialog box, click the Extended Privileges tab.
3. Select the extended privilege you want to edit, and click Edit.
The Edit Extended Privilege dialog box appears.
4. In the Access area, select or clear the checkbox for each privilege set that you want to
enable or disable.
See About accounts, privilege sets, and extended privileges.
5. Click OK.
Notes
• There are two other methods for enabling and disabling extended privileges:
• While configuring sharing settings for FileMaker Network sharing, ODBC/JDBC, or
FileMaker WebDirect, you can enable sharing for all users or certain privilege sets if
your privilege set permits it. This method is accessible by any account assigned a
privilege set with the Manage Extended Privileges via Sharing dialogs privilege
enabled, so it can be accessed by accounts that are not assigned the Full Access
privilege set. See
Editing other privileges, Sharing databases on a network, Sharing
FileMaker Pro data via ODBC or JDBC, or Publishing databases with FileMaker
WebDirect.
• While editing a privilege set, you can enable or disable extended privileges for it. (This
method requires Full Access privileges.) See
Editing extended privileges for a privilege
set.
FileMaker Go: In the Keyword field in the Edit Extended Privilege dialog box, you can specify the
amount of time required before a user needs to re-login to FileMaker
Go. You can:
• accept the default time for new files and new privilege sets, which is fmreauthenticate10
(10 minutes).
• change the default time (up to a maximum of 10080 minutes).
• change the default time to fmreauthenticate0 or fmreauthenticate (the user can leave
FileMaker
Go for up to 10 seconds). fmreauthenticate0 is the value applied to privilege
sets in files converted from an earlier version of FileMaker
Pro.
• create a new fmreauthenticate10 extended privilege and specify a different time.
Creating and deleting extended privileges
FileMaker as well as third-party developers may provide additional software products designed to
work with FileMaker
Pro and FileMaker Server. A product like this may require you to add a new
extended privilege if you want to control who can access a database file with the additional product.
You can also delete an extended privilege that you no longer need.
To create a new extended privilege:
1. Choose File menu > Manage > Security.
2. In the Manage Security dialog box, click the Extended Privileges tab.
