agtjazz Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I am in the process of developing a database that will be used by 12 or so people via IWP. I have to lock down the pages so that everyone can read it, but only a department rep can update their department report. So my departments are: Com, EFL , Mus, Phil, PS, KHP etc . All can review the other departments’ reports, but only COM can edit Com’s report. Do I do different layouts ( based on department) or ? What is the best way to handle the multi user environment in regards to security? If anyone can direct me to examples to study, I would surely appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Steven H. Blackwell Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 You do not need separate layouts per se. But you do need a separate Privilege Set for each Group. Each Privilege Set can have as many accounts attached to it as required. Each record must also have a field that identifies its "owner" Group. That way, on;y members of a particular Privilege Set can edit the record, but all other can view it. This concept known as record level access is well documented in a number of resources, including the FileMaker, Inc. Security White Paper, as well as in my book and videos: White Paper and Book and Videos. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
