The parameter of the script is a list of values containing first the type of service, second granted or failed as keyword and third an error message.


With plugin version 6.0 or newer the script name can be a script ID number. In that case the plugin queries the script name for the given script ID. This allows to call scripts by ID and avoid problems if scripts are later renamed.

If such a privilege is not defined, the plugin is allowed to trigger scripts. See FileMaker product documentation for details.
