Viewing and reordering accounts
The Manage Security dialog box displays a list of all the accounts for a file. You can view and reorder this list of accounts. If necessary, you can also change the authentication order of accounts, which determines the order that FileMaker Server searches through the accounts list for a valid account.
Note  Changing the authentication order of accounts is only necessary under certain situations when your file is hosted by FileMaker Server. For more information, see the Notes section in Creating accounts that authenticate via an external server and the FileMaker Server documentation.
