How do I use the Sharing Enabled version?

If you purchase a BaseElements Site Licence, you also have access to use BaseElements on multiple machines at the same place of work, as well as on a FileMaker Server machine shared amongst multiple developers. You must have a Site Licence registration code to act as a client to a shared version.

The Site Licence is flexible, in that you can mix and match single user and Sharing enabled versions as you wish. You can use BaseElements on as many computers as you have developers in the same company or at the same site.

Using BaseElements on FileMaker Server

The demo version above has sharing enabled for 2 External Authentication Groups :

FMP_BE_Edit
FMP_BE_Read

that have Edit and Read only access enabled respectively.

At present sharing is only switched on for EA accounts.

The reason for this is that you may want to run BaseElements on a server that is also sharing other files for users not developers. This way you can restrict BaseElements to only those users who have access. A default or published standard FMP account would allow users to bypass the EA account, which may not always been in the best interest of the company.

If you need a specific EA group added to the files, we can do that for you. Contact us for details.
