Script and full access privileges

[David Jondreau]

I'm creating a layout to be used with IWP. I'm using a privilege set that locks down all the layouts and records except for what is absolutely necessary for the user. But I've run into a problem.

I want to log the user into my sessions table, but not give them any other access to it. I've used privileges to lock them out and written the script to log them in.

I've set the script to "Run with full access privileges", but that is not happening. Testing shows that the script returns tons of permissions errors.

Am I misunderstanding the "Run with full" option or what?

Hmpf. Now it's working. I think I was watching the script debugger (which shows "No access" even after authenticating) but the script did set the fields I wanted to set.

Just a reminder that Run script with full access privileges confers power onto the script, not onto the user.

Right.

I think first I had forgotten to save the script after checking the box. Unsaved scripts still run without warning, a behavior I still haven't gotten used to. Then after I had saved it, the layout view and debugger still showed all the "No access" signs. Which I get for the layout, but the debugger should show the permissions.

And finally I had a script step that was throwing an error that I thought was based on permissions, but wasn't.

All in all confusing.
