IlliaFM Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 This looks like a very common question, but I haven't found a good enough solution on this forum. It's Filemaker 20 that is out now, and does it still not have a convenient way of enabling/disabling field editing on the layout? I mean dynamically depending on desired events, of course. I need to lock the entire record from editing when its status changes to "Closed". Am I supposed to add another layer to all fields and make them hide and show? Please don't say that 🫠 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean West Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 you can use FileMakers built in privilege sets for the table in question. Disable editing if the record is closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliaFM Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 How do I use them? Is there script steps for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean West Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 This goes to the heart of FileMaker, you setup a user privilege set and edit the options to restrict access for the user currently logged in. There are many conversations here about FileMaker security and how to properly configure permissions for your users. Only relying on scripting is not security and users can thwart any obfuscation in order to gain access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
