Limit access to the custom app through layouts

Design layouts that limit users' view of data and access to features according to their needs and privilege sets. Also, consider hiding the status toolbar and instead providing buttons that perform allowed tasks.

If the custom app will be used with FileMaker WebDirect or FileMaker Go, design layouts for express use with these clients. See FileMaker WebDirect Guide and FileMaker Go Development Guide.

Notes 

  • Limiting access to data and features on a layout does not prevent users from accessing data with script steps, functions, AppleScript, or by other means. Define privilege sets to restrict user access to data and features in all clients. See Define privilege sets.
