May 6, 200322 yr Does anybody know if there is a way to set field-level access rights in Filemaker Pro 6 that will be viable when the database is served as a web-page? I am trying to build a database with two passwords "sales" and "manager" and I want the user who logs on with "sales" to only see the price and description field while the user that logs on with "manager" would have access to ALL fields in the database. I have read some info on record-by-record access with instant-web-publishing but nothing about field-level. Thank you to anyone who can answer this or point me in the right direction.
May 7, 200322 yr field level acces is not a function built into FileMaker itself. but you can easily simulate that with the following calc: field_display=if(logingroupfield="manager"field,"no access") But usually you would do this by granting access rights to layouts ...
May 7, 200322 yr Author I have been sucessful with granting access rights to layouts but the problem comes when I try and serve the database using filemaker pro instant web-publishing, no matter how you log on all layouts are visible. I called tech support and they said that instant web-publishing does not support group/layout priveleges. And this has led me to this problem. However, thank you very much for responding. I will try your suggestion.
