userLevel

Type

property

Summary

Has no effect and is included in LiveCode for compatibility with imported HyperCard stacks.

Syntax

set the userLevel to <number>

Description

In HyperCard, the userLevel property determines what actions the user can perform. In LiveCode, there are no separate user levels.

By default, the userLevel property is set to 8. (This is greater than any of the values permitted in HyperCard for the userLevel property, so imported stacks that check whether the userLevel is greater than a certain number will continue to work without modification.)

A handler can set the userLevel to any number without causing a script error, but the behavior of the application is not changed.
