File Access Protection and Import

[MSPJ]

Hi - I'm developing a business solution to be hosted on FM Server.  It will be hosted on Soliant Cloud.  This is my first time developing for Server.  I read Steven and Wim's whitepaper on FM 16 security, which was very helpful.

In the past, when I've created upgrades to my solution, I've imported data from the previous version into the new one. Each update is a modified version of the previous file. 

I read about the benefits of using File Access Protection. My solution is a single file solution so I can basically exclude any other file having access - except I'm not sure what impact that will have on import from previous versions.  I assume both files will have the same ID - but not sure if that means that FM will see the older version as trusted or not. 

Thanks!

File Access controls access to the schema. It won't stop you from importing data -- which you need an authorized account to do anyway.
