How to add a second user to the account?

I am a Quickbooks customer and I need to add someone to the account such that they can photo snap receipts into the account, as well. I did click on the gear icon in my page and found the link to add a user on the upper left of the page but on the right side of the page I only saw the option to "Upgrade". I was told, just now, by a person from Sales that with my account I should not have to "upgrade" in order to add a second user. I did attempt to get to 'tech support" but due to the virus outbreak, tech support appears to be off line.

 

Thank You

Tom

    Hey thanks for the info miner_tom. If you're only seeing an Upgrade option this means you're on QuickBooks Online Simple Start. Simple Start does not have the option for more than one user. You will need to select the Upgrade button and upgrade to at least essentials to have multiple-users. Here's a chart with the difference between the plans if you need help choosing one. If you have any other questions I'm here to answer them.

    Hi miner_tom. It's pretty quick and painless to add a new user to a QuickBooks Online account. Follow the steps below or read our article on managing users in QuickBooks Online if you prefer.

    1. Select the Gear Icon⚙, then Manage Users. If you can’t select this, you don’t have permission to manage other users. You need to be signed in as an admin. 
    2. Select Add user.
    3. Select the user type you want to create. More options will appear on the screen depending on the user type you select.
    4. Enter your new user’s name and email address, then select Save.

    Now, just have the user log into their email and accept the invitation. You're all set after that. If there's anything else I could do for you, just let me know.

    Thank you for your reply,

    I can click the gear icon and then select manage users. But I don't see an option to add user. I only see an option to "upgrade". I would like to attach a screenshot or an image but I do not see that option in this forum.

     

    Also, how do I login as admin for the online version? I don't see an option .

     

    Thank You
