Lesson 13 | Protecting data in FileMaker Pro 80

Create a privilege set

About privilege sets

Privilege sets specify a level of access to a database file. In addition, FileMaker Pro allows for

extended privilege sets, which determine sharing options for files.

Predefined privilege sets

Each new database file has three predefined privilege sets:

1 Full Access permits accessing and changing anything in the file

1 Data Entry Only permits only the viewing and entering of data

1 Read-Only Access permits viewing, but not changing data

In every database, there must be at least one account with the Full Access privilege set. For

security reasons, this account should have a password. You can’t change or delete predefined

privilege sets except to enable or disable their extended privilege sets, but you can duplicate

predefined privilege sets and modify the copy to use it in a different way.

Custom privilege sets

While predefined privilege sets in FileMaker Pro provide for common types of data access,

creating unique privilege sets lets you limit access to specific aspects of a database, such as which

layouts can be viewed, which menus are available, and whether printing is allowed.

Extended privilege sets

Extended privilege sets determine the data sharing options that are permitted by a privilege set, such

as whether a privilege set permits users to open a shared file or view a database in a web browser.
