This one is worth the time typing if someone can come up with an answer.

I have a startup script that does various things depending on the users PrivilegeSetName. For some reason, no matter who I logged in as, FileMaker would see the user as [Full Access]. I spent hours doing this and that trying to figure out why it was doing this.(of course I saved a copy of my original startup script before the research began) I tried renaming the file and every other stupid thing I could think of.

Finally I created a new script called TestStartup. I then copied ALL of the code from my original startup script and pasted it into the newly created file AND IT WORKED.

This one is a real head scratcher for me!

Any Clues?

Thanks,

Wasn't the 'Run script with full access privilege' box checked ?

There is a checkbox at the bottom of the Script Editor dialog called "Run script with full access privileges." Perhaps that was checked?

Duplicate post.

AWESOME!! You hit the nail on the head! I would not have thought that,even though the script was being run with full access priveleges, it would override the users login access priveleges. It doesn't make allot of sense to me but I guess that's just FileMaker.

Thanks for the unexpected solution!

If it didn't override the log in, what would be the point?

Well, what I meant was,

I thought that Filemaker would look at the user, see that they were a lower level but look at the "run with full access" and let them run the script. What I did not know is that when the user is running the script, they are actually listed by FileMaker as a full access user.
