Accidentally removed desktop/app access in Extended Privileges

Featured Replies

My FileMaker database is cloud hosted and I accidentally removed the Extended Privilege access for the fmapp portion, now I can't access the file from the FileMaker Pro app on the computer using the Admin login, or any login, so I can't add the access back.

I do have a backup but it's a day old and I worked on the program hours upon hours today. Is there any hope of being able to get back into the file or do I have to just the backup and redo all the work?

Run a backup now or ask the cloud host to send you the file.  You will be able to open it locally.

Thank you Wim!  I now have all the work I made yesterday and access has been restored.

I also have a new problem however. By replacing the old hosted file with the new one, I also lost all my container field files. The files were downloaded along with the backup, but it seems there is no way for me to bulk upload the whole folder back to the remote host and all the container fields show "Missing...". 

I've tried to go to Manage Database -> Container and then redo the transfer, but it fails and gives me an error.
