Allow me to share some info about the Master Admin claim in QuickBooks Online (QBO). If you're going to transfer the master admin role to an existing QBO user, you may follow the steps below:
In the User Type column choose the user you want to be the master admin, select Edit to transfer the role to them.
Click the small arrow in the Action column to the right of the user. Then, choose Make master admin.
For security, we send a verification code to the phone number or email on file for your account. When you receive the verification code, enter it, and hit Continue.
In the window, tap Make master admin to confirm that you want to make the change.
Go to Settings and tick Sign Out to sign out as the current master admin.
When the user gets the invitation email, ask them to click the link and accept the invitation.
Also, here's a helpful article that you can open to know more about managing users in your QBO account: User types and user permissions.
Please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you about the master admin claim in QuickBooks. I've got your back and am always willing to help. Take care always.
Welcome to the Community, Cattle2. You've come to the right place for assistance in transferring the admin user to your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
In using QBDT, there are two kinds of admin users: the Company primary admin and the Intuit Account primary admin. If you're referring to the Company's primary admin, kindly note that you can only have one primary admin and sign in as the Primary admin upon transferring. In instances where the Primary Admin isn't around and can't make changes, you can send a request to our account protection team.
Once allowed, follow the provided guidelines below to transfer your primary company admin in your QBDT:
Go to Company, then choose My Company.
Click on the Manage Your Account tab.
Log in with your Intuit Account info. This should be different from what you use to sign in to your company file.
Scroll down to the Primary Contact section and pick Change.
Choose the new primary contact from the list of contacts in the account.
Once done, click Save and Close.
Moreover, the admin should invite or add the userif the user isn't on the list of contacts. After that, the user shouldaccept the invite to change the primary contact on the account.
