FileMaker Pro 11.0
Description
The keywords are separated by carriage returns. Extended privileges are additional access rights
assigned to an account’s privilege set. See About accounts, privilege sets, and extended privileges.
Returns an empty list if a user doesn’t have extended privileges assigned to the account used to
open the file.
Notes
If you specify the context for the current calculation, this function will be evaluated based on
that context; otherwise, it will be evaluated based on the context of the current window.
See also Get(CurrentExtendedPrivileges) function.
Example 1
If you are logged in with a privilege set that includes only the Access via FileMaker WebDirect
extended privilege:
Get ( AccountExtendedPrivileges ) returns fmwebdirect.
Example 2
If you are logged in and running a script with full access privileges, Get(AccountExtendedPrivileges)
returns the extended privileges for your account. (By contrast, Get(CurrentExtendedPrivileges)
returns the extended privileges for the Admin account.)
Assume the [Read-Only Access] privilege set includes the Access via FileMaker Network extended
privilege, and the [Full Access] privilege set includes the Access via FileMaker Network and Access
via FileMaker WebDirect extended privileges. If you are logged in with the Guest account and run a
script set to run with full access privileges:
Get ( AccountExtendedPrivileges ) returns fmapp
Get ( CurrentExtendedPrivileges ) returns
fmapp
fmwebdirect
