Protecting databasesYou can restrict what users can see and do in a database file by defining accounts and privilege sets. For example, you can:
• Restrict access to specific tables, records, fields, and layoutsYou can also control access to a file’s schema (including its tables, layouts, scripts, and value lists).It’s especially important to protect FileMaker Pro files that are shared with other FileMaker Pro users via the FileMaker Network, with web users via FileMaker WebDirect, and with ODBC/JDBC clients. These shared files are more vulnerable because they may be more widely available over your network.Note If you have FileMaker Pro Advanced, you can encrypt database files to protect them while they are being stored on disk. See Encrypting database files (FileMaker Pro Advanced).
