Question

How do I assign user permissions so a user can do everything except write checks?

Comfortable with this user accessing GL and all other accounting functions except the ability to create and print checks. I can't see where I can fine tune the user permissions to that level of detail but admittedly I'm new to QB Advanced.

Hi there, @jim214.

 

I appreciate you for using QuickBooks Online to manage your business. I'm here to guide you in managing your users in QBO Advanced.

 

To assign a user and add them in QuickBooks, here's how:

 

  1. Go to Settings, then select Manage users.
  2. Click the Users tab, then tick Add.
  3. Enter the user's name and email address.
  4. From the Assign roles dropdown menu, select the role you want to assign to the user.
  5. Review the permissions this role has, then select Send invitation.
  6. Enter the custom role name and role description.
  7. Hit Save Role.

 

From there, the user will get an email and need to click on Let's go! to sign in.

 

You can choose any role for the user except for Expenses. Thus, this user can do expense and vendor transactions like Pay bills, write checks, print checks, view check detail reports, and many more.
