I have a database that is set up for IWP. There are two accounts: A master account with full access privileges and a password, and the guest account with read only access and no password.

When I get the IWP home screen and click on the database, it simply enters the opening layout but never asks for a login. Have I missed something? I want to require a login to limit access to some users.

Thanks!

Ken

Check the File > Options.

Sounds like your file is set to automatically open using an existing account - probably "Admin"

The default account for a new FMP file is "Admin", with a guest account too.

It turns out the problem was solved by eliminating the default [Guest] account and creating a new account named "Guest" with no password and read only access. I have no idea why this works and the default Guest account does not, but at least it works.

The other thing I noticed is that once I log in with the full access, even if I log out first, when I click on the database again from the home directory, it automatically logs in again as Admin. I have to quit my browser to cancel the session and force the login dialog again. Is this typical behavior?

Thanks agian.
