Format 

Get(CurrentExtendedPrivileges)

Parameters 

None

Data type returned 

text

Originated in 

FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier

Description 

The keywords in the list are separated by carriage returns. Extended privileges are additional access rights assigned to an account’s privilege set. See About accounts, privilege sets, and extended privileges.

Returns an empty list if a user doesn’t have extended privileges assigned for the current database file.

Notes 

If you specify the context for the current calculation, this function will be evaluated based on that context; otherwise, it will be evaluated based on the context of the current window.

If you are logged in and running a script that is set to run with full access privileges, Get(AccountExtendedPrivileges) returns the extended privileges for your account, but Get(CurrentExtendedPrivileges) returns the extended privileges for the Admin account.

See also Get(AccountExtendedPrivileges) function.

Example 1 

The account that is evaluating this calculation uses a privilege set that includes the extended privilege of Access via FileMaker WebDirect (keyword "fmwebdirect"):

Position(Get(CurrentExtendedPrivileges); "fmwebdirect"; 1; 1) returns a value greater than 0.
