Originated in 

FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier

Description 

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

Returns:

•0 if the custom layout privileges of an account’s privilege set allow no access to Records via this layout

•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 Advanced returns 1 even if the layout has read-write access privileges

•2 if the custom layout privileges of an account’s privilege set allow modifiable access to Records via this layout

Notes 

•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.

•See Editing layouts privileges for more details about limiting access through layouts.

Example 1 

Returns 1 when the layout allows view-only access to records.
