It is terrible that this issue is still continuing in December 2024. The following error message is becoming common place and no person at the Help Desk has been able to resolve it. We have talked to multiple people, the issue has been escalated to the Technical Team and a Case No. allocated but for two weeks, nothing seems to be sorted out.

 

Other times, we get the error Access Denied upon accepting invite. This implies that it is absolutely a technical error and only Intuit can sort it out.

 

Intuit Technical Team, could you please step up? This is becoming very frustrating.

I am having the same issue!!! Employee shows up as active under payroll employees but not as a user under manage users. EE cannot log in (was a prior employee) and I've tried 10+ times to enter him.

When a new employee joins and register with the workforce system, they use their email address to log in. If this email address is subsequently added to the 'Manage Users' section and assigned a role, an error will occur, preventing the addition from being completed.

 

I suggest using a different email to add your employee and assign a role in the manage user section. Follow these steps how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon and select Manage User.
  2. Click Add User.
  3. Provide the details and email address, then assign a role.
  4. Hit Send Invite.

 

Additionally, you can visit this link to add, edit, and remove authorized access in QBO.

 

For future reference, click this link to change your company's primary admin user. To learn more about usage limitations in QBO, check out this article.
