Editing extended privileges for a privilege set
Privilege sets can limit
extended privileges, which determine whether and how a shared file is accessible.
To edit extended privileges for a privilege set:
1. Start editing a new or existing privilege set the Edit Privilege Set dialog box.
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.
2. In the Extended Privileges list, select the extended privileges you want to enable, and clear the ones you want to disable.
The following table lists the default extended privileges that are available.
Keyword | Extended privilege | Determines if a privilege permits |
fmwebdirect | | Accessing a database file from a web browser via FileMaker WebDirect. |
fmxdbc | | Accessing a database file as an ODBC or JDBC data source. |
fmapp | Access via FileMaker Network, server-side scripting, or FileMaker Go | Opening a shared file (either a file shared by FileMaker Pro or hosted and shared by FileMaker Server). |
fmreauthenticate10 | Require re-authentication after the specified minutes in sleep/background | Accessing a file in FileMaker Pro or FileMaker Go without having to re-login after file hibernation or after using a different app. The default time is 10 minutes. |
fmxml | Access via XML Web Publishing - FMS only | Accessing a database file from a web browser or other application via XML web publishing - FileMaker Server only. |
fmphp | Access via PHP Web Publishing - FMS only | Accessing a database file from a web browser or other application via PHP web publishing - FileMaker Server only. |

3. Click OK, then click OK in the Manage Security dialog box.
Notes
•Do not create extended privileges that begin with "fm"; keywords with this prefix are reserved by FileMaker.
•If a file has been set to save the password in your credentials (Windows) or keychain (OS X and iOS), and the fmreauthenticate extended privilege has been enabled, you will not be prompted for account information unless the password is invalid or the current account name does not match the account name stored in your credentials or keychain.
