34 FileMaker Pro Web Publishing Security Guidelines
You can type
All Users
in the
User Name
field to create privileges that apply to any web user. These
privileges override more restrictive privileges set for other users. Therefore, if you set
All Users
to be
able to browse, create, and edit records, then any other user names you enter for this database can also
browse, create, and edit records regardless of the user permissions you set for them.
Leave the
User Password
field blank if you're setting privileges for All Users. (FileMaker Pro
displays an alert if you attempt to enter a password for All Users.)
8.
In the
Field Name
field, type the name of any field that you want to restrict for this database (be
sure to type the defined field name, not the name of a field label) and select one or more of the
following restrictions for the field.
When this field
restriction is selected
Web users can do the following
DontShow
View all fields in a record except this field. If a field with this restriction appears in the
web page, a blank value is returned as if the field were empty.
DontSearch
Specify search criteria in any field except this field. Web users cannot search for data
in this field.
ReadOnly
View but not edit data in this field.
ExactSearch
Retrieve only those records containing exact matching values to the search criteria
specified for this field. A record is not returned unless an exact match is made with the
field's value in the database.
If ExactSearch is assigned to a field, the equals operator must be used with that field
when it is present in a search action. Also, if the ExactSearch restriction is set for any
field, then the findall and findany actions cannot be used with that database.
ExactUpdate
Edit only those records containing a value that exactly matches the value specified by
the user for this field in a search. Web users cannot edit this field itself.
ExactDelete
Delete only those records containing a value that exactly matches the value specified
by the user for this field in a search. Web users cannot edit this field.
