Get functions 95
Description
Returns a number based on record access privileges available through the current layout.
You assign the privileges in the Custom Layout Privileges dialog box.
Returns:
• 0 if the custom layout privileges of an account’s privilege set allow no access to
Records via this layout.
• 1 if the custom layout privileges of an account’s privilege set allow view only access
to Records via this layout. If the database is opened with read-only access,
FileMaker Pro returns 1 even if the layout has read-write access privileges.
• 2 if the custom layout privileges of an account’s privilege set allow modifiable access
to Records via this layout.
See FileMaker Pro help for more details about limiting access through layouts.
Notes
• Get(LayoutAccess) returns information about record access privileges defined for
only the current layout. It ignores current record access privileges for all other
layouts. To fully check access through a layout, consider the return values of
Get(LayoutAccess) and the Get(RecordAccess) function, page 102.
• See FileMaker Pro help for information about running scripts in client/server and
peer-to-peer environments.
Example
Returns 1 when the layout allows view-only access to records.
