I have 'full' access to QB, but currently the only way for me to access the income tracker is to log in as the system admin. Which specific permission do I need to access this report?

Will "external accountant" solve the problem?

Thanks for sharing your concern here in the Community forum, @Matt-

 

I'll guide you through the specific permission you need to access the income tracking reports in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

When a user has been granted the Full Access role permission, they are authorized to use most of the program's functionalities and data, including the income tracking reports. However, if you are unable to access the income tracker even with Full Access permission, the company admin may have set restrictions on your computer. This typically requires you to log in using the system admin credentials, which will enable you to gain access to the income tracker feature. In this case, you can log in as an administrator and adjust your role permission to gain access. 

 

On the other hand, you can reach out to your company administrator and request to be added as an External Accountant. By doing so, you can effectively manage sales, process transactions, and track income within your company file. If you are using QBDT Enterprise, you can follow the steps below:

 

  1. Click the Company menu, then select Users, and then choose Users and Roles.
  2. Enter your Admin Password and then select OK.
  3. From the User List, select New.
  4. Enter a User ID and an optional Password.
  5. From Available Roles, select the External Accountant role, then select Add.
  6. Enter the user’s email address, then select OK.
  7. From the confirmation window, select OK.
