Periodic password changing

In FMP10 and above, is it possible to automatically require users to change their passwords periodically? I've not seen any mention of this feature in the Security area or Help files.

Privilege set and <> Records

Mon, 26 Jul 2010 15:39:48 GMT

I had to create a privilege set for users that can only view/edit information for one client and all it's related work orders.
If no initial find is performed the user is brought to the full record list, 95% of which have fields populated with <>.

I created an onlayoutload script that will perform a find to weed out these annoying records if the privilegesetname matches the group in question and totalrecordcount = foundcount.

It got a little annoying to put this on every layout. And it had to be done on 2 separated files that connects clients to work orders.

Is there a better way of handling this?

Also, of what real use is it for a user that does not have access to records to know that there are 100,000 records they cannot see but can scroll through? Shouldn't filemaker just hide these completely from the record count?

Developper level privilege

Tue, 20 Jul 2010 14:29:06 GMT

Hi,

How can I set privilege on layouts and scripts creation? I want to work with a developer who will be able to create scripts and layouts, but not already existing ones.

How can I block modification to existing layouts or scripts?

Thank you

my custom view in fm11 doesnt get updated to php view

Thu, 01 Jul 2010 22:20:08 GMT

soo here's the deal, I'm new to filemaker, I only been using it for 5 months now. I'm able to create database, and use php assistant, and i also manage to custom the css/html file so the UI looks better for me. Basically i just moving the tables around, no more than that.
Now, last week i add a new user with a custom privilege, it works if I open in filemaker, but if i open through the website, I can see i have the data there, it says I have this much of data but all the fields are empty. Anyone know why and how to fix it ?

Importing a table issues

Fri, 25 Jun 2010 16:46:41 GMT

Is there a way to set up a file where I can allow a user to import a table from a file in which they don't have full acces privileges?

They have complete access in the file they would be importing FROM except for some scripts, but they are not able to import a table into the new file. Shouldn't this still work?

Combining privileges

Thu, 24 Jun 2010 20:26:30 GMT

I'm pretty sure the answer is "no" but I for some reason I thought extended privileges could be used to combine different privileges into one. That is, let's say I have:

Privilege 1 => access to field 1
Privilege 2 => access to field 2

Can I somehow create an extended privilege combining Privilege 1 and Privilege 2 so I don't have to create a new Privilege 3 for an account to be able to access both field 1 and field 2?

Thanks in advance!
