import/copy user accounts

I have a solution which several customers have their own, identical, versions of.

As I continued developing the system, I need to find a way to keep my clients accounts on the live files, in line with any new files I distribute.

Are there any recognised or recommended methods for copying or importing user accounts from one file to another?

Advance thanks.

No, there is not. However, if you create a table "Users" that stores their Account Name (and typically given name), then you can import that. You cannot import account passwords, as they are not stored in the file (and should NOT be in your Users table).

Another approach is to use External Authentication.

thanks,

so would you import user name and then set to change password at first log in?

my one client has this file running on FMS and we use EA with ease.

Am I correct in thinking there is no work around for EA without FMS?>

External Server Authentication, as the name implies, requires FIleMaker Server. The Accounts can be either on the Server itself or part of a Domain.
