Hi there,
I am new to IWP and am struggling with a few basic issues...thank you for
any help :0)

I need to have web users to login and want them to only see records assigned
to their UserName and only they will only see certain layouts.
I have no idea how to write the script to do this...
Assuming in the start up I would have something like
If its a local intranet user then use this startup script
If webuserX use this startup script...

Thanks
T

When you define the privilege set for each account, you define what
tables, records and layouts that account holder can see, and whether
they can modify any of them. You also define their privileges regarding
seeing, modifying and using scripts and value lists. All these things
are in the definition of the privilege set, and do not need to be
controlled by a script.

In order to limit the access to particular records, the records have to
be identifiable by some calculation that you define in the privilege
set. In general this means that there has to be some field or
combination of fields that identifies the records for purposes of this
calculation.

Fore example, you can define a field that records the account name that
created the record. That could be used to allow subsequent access only
to records that account name created. I'm not saying you should do this,
it is only an example of the kind of thing you can do to limit access to
particular records. There are many other possibilities, depending on
your needs.

Thanks Bill,

As dopey as this sounds... how to I record the AccountName who created the
record which would happen to be the same at the Inspector the job is
assigned to... Any way AccountName can be UserName... I thought it might be
as simple as a Calculation field with Get (AccountName) but cant find one?

Get(AccountName) is one of the numerous Get functions. See the Get
function in the FMP 8.5 Help file.

hummm

where in 8.5 can you specify these details, all I see is read only, data
entry and fuill access; I recall in older versions you could get that
granular, but I can't seem to find in 7-8
