2 Admin role in Quickbooks Desktop

Hi there, r_mahc. Let me answer your inquiry regarding admin roles in QuickBooks Desktop.

Currently, the option to have two admin roles isn't available in QuickBooks Desktop. Although you can assign multiple users to have administrative privileges, there's only one user designated as the admin who has full access rights. However, you can add the second admin and allow them all permissions to provide them with similar rights. Alternatively, you can create a second admin role with full permissions and assign it to the other admin user. Let me walk you through the process of doing so.

Follow these steps to create a second admin role:

1. On the top menu, go to Company.
2. Hover on Users, and then select Set Up Users and Roles.
3. Navigate to the Role List tab.
4. Click New.
5. Name the role, and then set the access level to full in all areas. Refer to the screenshot for reference.
6. Hit OK.

Once done, head back to the User List tab to add the second admin and assign the newly created role. 

Furthermore, if you want to add more admin roles, you can use the Duplicate button on the Role List tab to save time in creating one.
