Creating a User Account

The first step in managing your user access is to create a new user account. Until you do, all your security is generic, and you can't take advantage of the truly remarkable level of control FileMaker now offers.

To create a user account

1 .Choose File > Define > Accounts & Privileges. In the Define Accounts & Privileges dialog box, you will see the default settings for the database, consisting of a Guest Account (unchecked by default) and Admin (the full access account).

2 .Click New. In the Edit Account dialog box, type a name and password for the new account (Figure 16.13). (The password will appear as bullets, so type carefully.)

3 .

In the Privilege Set drop-down list, choose a Privilege Set for the new account (Figure 16.14).

To disable a user name temporarily, click the Inactive radio button in the Account Status section (Figure 16.15). You can reset it to Active when necessary.

4 .You can enter a description to remind you of the details about this account in the Description section. When you're done, click OK to save the changes (Figure 16.16).

5 .To create multiple accounts with the same privileges, select an existing account name and click the Duplicate button (Figure 16.17). Double-click the new account to change the settings as discussed earlier.
