Accounts script steps
Accounts script steps allow you to create and manage user accounts. With Accounts
script steps, you can:
• add accounts
• delete accounts
• reset account passwords
• change passwords
• enable accounts
• log in to a file using a different account and password
Notes
• Accounts created using script steps cannot be granted full access privileges (only
accounts created manually).
• Users who are not assigned the Full Access privilege set can only execute account
scripts if Run script with full access privileges is selected in the Edit Script dialog
box when the script is created or edited. For more information on access privileges
and script steps, see FileMaker Pro Help.
