Lesson 13 | Protecting data in FileMaker Pro 79

To create an account and password:

1. Open Sample Copy.fmp12.

2. Choose File menu > Manage > Security.

3. In the Accounts tab, click New.

4. For Account is authenticated via, choose FileMaker.

5. For Account Name, type Le Nguyen.

6. For Password, type lnguyen.

Note For security reasons, password text never appears in FileMaker Pro. Always make a note

of passwords you enter when setting up accounts, then provide passwords to the appropriate

users. Store passwords in a safe place in case they’re forgotten and so they can’t be stolen.

7. Select User must change password on next login.

In most cases, an account that is shared by multiple users should not force a password change

upon first login. Instead, you should specify a password and provide it to the users who need

it. Also, the privilege set for a shared account should not permit password changes because

one user could change the password and lock out all other users who share the account.

8. For Account Status, select Active.

9. For Privilege Set, choose [Read-Only Access].

10. For Description, type Customer Service Agent.

11. Click OK.

You see the new account listed with the default Guest and Admin accounts.

12. Click OK.

An alert appears informing you that the Admin account in the sample file is not password

protected. You must acknowledge this setting before FileMaker

Pro allows you to continue.

13. Click Allow to close the alert.

You see the Confirm Full Access Login dialog box.

14. For Full Access Account, type Admin, leave Password blank, then click OK.

Note For security purposes, always password-protect the Admin account in files you create.
