What are access rights?

When you create or edit a user, you can assign one of the following types of access rights:

Company Administrator Access to all features and capabilities in QuickBooks.
Regular or custom user Ordinary user. May have access to all QuickBooks features, or you can limit access to:
  • Customers and Sales
  • Vendors and Purchases

You can also choose to give this user some administrative capabilities.
Master Administrator All the access rights of a Company Administrator. You cannot delete or change the access rights for the Master Administrator.

There is only one Master Administrator. Initially, it's the user who created your company.

To edit or delete the user with Master Administrator rights, you must first transfer the Master Administrator role to another user .
Time Tracking Only Access to a timesheets-and-time-reports only version of QuickBooks. Time-tracking-only users do not count toward your current user limit.
Reports Only Access to a reports-only version of QuickBooks. Reports-only users can access virtually all reports, except payroll reports and those listing the contact information of employees, customers, or vendors. Reports-only users do not count toward your current user limit.

Accountant user

You can also identify one user as your accountant. The accountant does not count toward your current user limit.

You can have only one user identified as your accountant, but you can invite another accountant to access your company. To do this, under Accounting Firms, click Invite Accountant.This user doesn't count toward your user limit.
