Put Filemaker file back to default permissions?

Featured Replies

I created a solution which I want to give to other people. There is no data in it at all - they can add their own data. It's meant to be a database of audio tracks, so there would be no sensitive data. I made the mistake of starting with a file that had an all-access user defined. So I gave the "Admin" user all-access permissions and deleted the other all-access user, and allowed Admin to login with no password. But it still prompts for a user name. Is there a way to put this back to the default for a new file in FM - in other words, no prompt at all? It's quite a complicated solution, so copying scripts, layouts, tables, and relationships from this to a new one is really not an option.

Under File > File Options… you can set up a default account name and password to use when opening the file.

P.S. Think carefully if you really want to give others full-access privileges.

That worked. I have no qualms about giving this to some colleagues and friends, without any security.

Thanks.
