Enhancement of the user management module in FM Starter
The «UserAccounts» module for managing FileMaker accounts in FM Starter has been updated
FM Starter just received a new update. The new version 2.4 is a maintenance update with various small optimizations and bug fixes. User management got a useful new feature.
Name and password
FM Starter, our starter file for new FileMaker projects, offers various modules for new projects. Below this is a user administration called «UAC User Accounts». In this user administration, administrators can create new accounts for users and define access data, rights, a default language and start and end dates.
Previously, user name and user password were specified. The username corresponded to the email address and the password was randomly generated by an algorithm.
Name and password can now also be set manually. In certain circumstances this can be helpful. If you switch to manual assignment, you can trigger the change at any time by redefining the access rights. This process is necessary because the user table is just an interface between users and FileMaker accounts. These two must be synchronized whenever there is a change. The new definition of access rights ensures this synchronization.
Free update for all active accounts
The update is free for customers with a current service subscription. The downloads can be found in your own account on fmstarter.com.
