Grant trusted users limited ability to manage security

If you develop a custom app but don't want to manage the everyday tasks of granting and removing account access yourself, you can give trusted users a limited ability to manage security without granting them full access privileges. Doing this offloads the daily tasks while protecting your intellectual property and preventing others from making changes that could break your app.

These privileges grant a limited ability to make security changes in FileMaker Pro

Privilege	Users can	Users can't
Manage accounts that don't have Full Access	Open the Manage Security dialog box to create, edit, and remove account access entries that aren't assigned the Full Access privilege set. Assign existing privilege sets to account access entries that don't have the Full Access privilege set. The existing privilege set to assign can't be Full Access, but it can have the Manage accounts that don't have Full Access privilege.	Add or remove the Full Access privilege set from any account access entry. Change the priority of or duplicate account access entries. Open the Security Settings dialog box to create or edit privilege sets, work with extended privileges, or authorize file access.
Manage extended privileges	Open the Security Settings dialog box only to enable and disable extended privileges for any existing privilege set and to create, edit, and delete extended privileges.	Open the Manage Security dialog box to modify account access entries.

To grant an account access entry limited privileges to manage security:

1. Create a privilege set.

2. In the Edit Privilege set dialog box, enable one or both of these privileges.

3. Set the Available menus option set to All.

   This allows the user to access File menu > Manage > Security.

4. Assign this privilege set to an account access entry.
