Description
You assign the
access privileges in the Custom Layout Privileges dialog box.
Returns:

•1 if the custom layout privileges of an account’s privilege set allow
view only access to
Records via this layout. If the database is opened with read-only access, FileMaker Pro returns

•Get(LayoutAccess) returns information about record access privileges defined for only the current layout. It ignores current
record access privileges for all other layouts. To fully check access through a layout, consider the return values of
Get(LayoutAccess) and the
Get(RecordAccess) function.
Examples
