I am hoping someone can help me with customizing some permissions in
Filemaker 9 Pro.

I recently had a user delete a large portion of files using the
"delete selected files" function (which were luckily easily
recoverable with the Filemaker Backup), so decided to lock down some
permissions.

I changed the "Available Menu Commands" from "all" to "editing only"
which took away the users' ability to access this dangerous option,
but it also took away their ability to use the "command + F" shortcut
to search for records.

I can't seem to figure out a way to fine tune which options on the
menu bars users can and can't access other than the few such as
printing and exporting that show up under "other privileges"

I have quite a few of frustrated users right now, so any help would be
much appreciated!

Thanks!
Tessa

You have the ability in the privilege set definition to disallow record
deletion. You need to have a copy of FMP Advanced to be able to
actually customize menus though.
