11-22 FileMaker Pro User’s Guide
Keep these points in mind:
1 Create a separate record for every database you want to assign Web
Security database access privileges.
1 You can type All Users in the User Name field to create privileges
that apply to any Web user. These privileges override more restrictive
privileges you may set later. To prevent this, carefully decide which
privileges you want to grant to all users.
1 When creating a password, use only the characters A through Z,
numerals, or a combination of the two. Do not include spaces in your
password. This minimizes the possibility that you will choose
characters that may be interpreted incorrectly over the Web.
