Hi jlroch, 

 

Welcome to the Community. I can see the benefit of being able to lock out a user from the item list account in QuickBooks Desktop. The program is designed to help you streamline your accounting and I'll be happy to steer you in the right direction with this. 

 

QuickBooks allows you to edit users on your account, here's how: 

  1. Sign in as the QuickBooks Admin.
  2. Go to the Company menu, then select Setup Users and Passwords and then Set Up Users.
  3. Highlight the user, then select Edit User.
  4. Follow the Change User Password and Access wizard to remove sensitive reporting access.

For more info on this, I encourage you to check out this helpful article here. If you'd like to see more customization options that go beyond what's been provided above, I recommend sending feedback to our engineers. You can do this by clicking the Help menu and looking for Send Feedback Online. I encourage you to try this out and let me know what happens.

you have not answered the question.

you are telling me how to lock out a user in general. i already know how to do that.

my question is: how to lock out a user from the"item list" specifically!

I see what you're saying. The function you've described isn't available in QuickBooks. I recommend sending this as feedback to our engineers using the steps above. In the meantime, feel free to ask other questions. I'm here to assist.
