Manage Access

[Chris Christou]

I am planning to release a FileMaker DB which will allow users access to ScriptMaker, certain Layouts, Tables, Fields, Relationships Graph, Value Lists etc.. without giving them access to the [FullAccess] account.

I have managed to achieve this by creating a series of scripts using commands such as (Open Manage Database and Open Manage Value Lists). Which will allow a non [FullAccess] account user access to these development tools.

However I have not managed to find a way to give a user access to the Custom Menus or Custom Functions part of the DB without giving them the [FullAccess] account details.

Does any one know any tricks I may have missed?

No, I know of no other tricks to open the universe to non-developer Users. I must say that you are very brave indeed and I hope you get it in writing that, when fields are deleted thus trashing data, you are not responsible. I truly can't imagine how this could work properly. Why, if opening up all key aspects of a solution, do you then want to restrict full access? It feels like an oxymoron based upon controlled chaos of a realistic fantasy. I truly wish you well with it.

That's exactly what I was thinking! :clap:
