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 >
Security.
• 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
FileMaker 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 clients settings.
• If you plan to use external
authentication, 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 security settings.
