Editing accounts and privilege sets
In FileMaker Pro, edit the accounts and privilege sets that clients will use for access to each
database. Choose File menu > Manage > Accounts & Privileges.
• Enable the appropriate extended privileges
for particular privilege sets. Every account
assigned to a privilege set with extended privileges will be able to access the database
through the protocol associated with an extended privilege (for example, Access via
FileMaker Network). For more information on accounts, privilege sets, and extended
privileges, see the F
ILEMAKER PRO USER’S GUIDE.
• Enable the privilege to Disconnect user from FileMaker Server when idle to disconnect
idle users from FileMaker Server for each account (or keep them connected), as necessary.
For more information on setting the length of time a user must be idle before being
disconnected, see FileMaker Pro client settings
(page 63).

, then you must edit each FileMaker Pro account
that clients will use for shared access. In the Edit Account dialog box, for Account is
authenticated via, choose External Server. For more information on enabling external
authentication for FileMaker Pro accounts, see FileMaker Pro Help. For more information
on setting up FileMaker Server to support external authentication, see Database Server
