What I was trying to accomplish: duplicate an existing user account to save time in creating new user logins Specific steps I took: clicked the "duplicate user account" button on the ebase user list screen What happened: I got a message saying the feature's not ready yet What I expected to see happen: I expected it to make a new account, like it used to in v. 2.20 My suggestion for revision: It could work just like adding a new account, except that permissions & other details from the an existing accpount are duplicated. -------details provided by ebase: please do not edit below this line---------- UI Build:8/14/2009 Data file build ID: 7/30/2009 FM Client version: Runtime 9.0v3 FM Server version: Layout: E_ShowUsers Last error: 0 Note:
Nearly all of this script was intentionally disabled. I reenabled and made one or two minor needed changes. There remains some question about how this interacts with the logon security system run by FileMaker.
Hey Larry - We'll need to look at this some more, as the user/account systems almost completely changed from 2.20 to 2.80. I'm reopening, and I'll take a look ASAP. I'm pretty sure I'm the one who disabled the script as it was, pending a future update. testing, i see that there are several ways in which the script does not work: it duplicates the account primary key value, it doesn't create a corresponding FileMaker account in the data file, it doesn't collect a password for the new account to be used in login...
