Editing which privilege sets may use an extended privilege

You can edit which privilege sets may use an extended privilege. For example, you can specify which privilege sets are allowed to open the file if it is shared over a network or accessed via a web browser.

To edit which privilege sets may use an extended privilege:

1.	Choose File menu > Manage > Security.

Note  If the Security menu command is dimmed, your privileges do not permit you to access it. See the note below for another possible way to edit extended privileges.

2.	In the Manage Security dialog box, click the Extended Privileges tab.

3.	Select the extended privilege you want to edit, and click Edit.

The Edit Extended Privilege dialog box appears.

4.	In the Access area, select or clear the checkbox for each privilege set that you want to enable or disable.

See About accounts, privilege sets, and extended privileges.

5.

Click OK.

Notes

•	There are two other methods for enabling and disabling extended privileges:

•

While configuring sharing settings for FileMaker Network sharing, ODBC/JDBC, or FileMaker WebDirect, you can enable sharing for all users or certain privilege sets if your privilege set permits it. This method is accessible by any account assigned a privilege set with the Manage Extended Privileges via Sharing dialogs privilege enabled, so it can be accessed by accounts that are not assigned the Full Access privilege set. See Editing other privileges, Sharing databases on a network, Sharing FileMaker Pro data via ODBC or JDBC, or Publishing databases with FileMaker WebDirect.

•	While editing a privilege set, you can enable or disable extended privileges for it. (This method requires Full Access privileges.) See Editing extended privileges for a privilege set.

FileMaker Go: In the Keyword field in the Edit Extended Privilege dialog box, you can specify the amount of time required before a user needs to re-login to FileMaker Go. You can:

•	accept the default time for new files and new privilege sets, which is fmreauthenticate10 (10 minutes).

•	change the default time (up to a maximum of 10080 minutes).

•	change the default time to fmreauthenticate0 or fmreauthenticate (the user can leave FileMaker Go for up to 10 seconds). fmreauthenticate0 is the value applied to privilege sets in files converted from an earlier version of FileMaker Pro.

•	create a new fmreauthenticate10 extended privilege and specify a different time.
