FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Pro Advanced use accounts,
privilege sets, and
extended privileges to protect FileMaker databases. You can use the Developer Utilities to remove all administrative accounts from a file. For more information about accounts and privileges, see
Protecting databases.
Important Selecting this option permanently deletes from the database all accounts that were using the
Full Access privilege set. This will permanently eliminate access to Layout mode and the Manage Scripts feature, except for the
Extended Privileges tab of the Manage Security dialog box, for all database files in the solution, whether they’re opened in a runtime application, in FileMaker Pro, or in FileMaker Pro Advanced. Structural and design elements of the files cannot be modified by anyone, including FileMaker employees. The only way to modify the tables, field definitions, relationships, scripts, or access privileges is by returning to the original file before it was customized by the Developer Utilities.
