Privilege sets specify levels of access to a database, such as which
layouts are viewable, which menus are available, and whether printing is permitted. See
About accounts, privilege sets, and extended privileges.
To create and manage privilege sets for a file, you need to open the file with an account that is assigned the Full Access privilege set, which is the only privilege set that permits making privileges changes to a file. If you open the file with any other privilege set, the
File menu >
Manage >
Security command is disabled.
You can create and modify privilege sets in a shared file while clients are using it. The privilege set changes you make take effect immediately. However, the changes do not disrupt any current clients. For example, if you change privileges for a privilege set that is in use by one or more clients, their privileges remain unchanged until the next time they open the file.
