Editing extended privileges for a privilege setPrivilege sets can limit extended privileges, which determine whether and how a shared file is accessible. For a file, you can set whether a privilege set is permitted to:
•
• Note Enabling extended privileges only makes it allowable for certain privilege sets to access shared data. To actually access the shared data, you must also set up sharing for the type of access that you want. See Sharing databases on a network, Sharing FileMaker Pro data via ODBC or JDBC, or Publishing databases on the web.For more information about extended privileges, see About accounts, privilege sets, and extended privileges.Display the Edit Privilege Set dialog box. See Creating new privilege sets or Editing existing privilege sets.Note If the File menu > Manage > Security menu is dimmed, your privileges do not permit you to access it. See the note below for another possible way to edit extended privileges.

• If you’ve finished working with accounts and privileges, click OK. In the dialog box that appears, enter an account name and password that is assigned the Full Access privilege set, and click OK.

• While configuring sharing settings for FileMaker Network sharing, ODBC/JDBC, or FileMaker WebDirect, you can enable sharing for all users or certain privilege sets if your privilege set permits it. This method is accessible by any account assigned a privilege set with the Manage Extended Privileges via Sharing dialogs privilege enabled, so it can be accessed by accounts that are not assigned the Full Access privilege set. See Editing other privileges, Sharing databases on a network, Using ODBC and JDBC with FileMaker Pro, or Publishing databases with FileMaker WebDirect.
• While editing an extended privilege, you can enable or disable the privilege sets that can access it. See Editing which privilege sets may use an extended privilege. (This method requires Full Access privileges.)
