Hello Kristisheeler,

I love that you've come to the QuickBooks Community forum to pick the brains of other users. It's a great option for getting the setup that you need with QuickBooks Online, and I see you've already got a suggestion here. I just wanted to highlight a few other resources for you.

When there's something the program can't do and you're wondering if there's a third-party that can do the job, I invite you to check out the Apps tab in QuickBooks Online. You can use the tab's search bar to find partner apps that can sync with QuickBooks Online so that your employees can handle what they need to outside of the program while also syncing the data so the entries are created in your books.

The other thing I'd like to highlight is the option to leave feedback. You're right, QuickBooks Online doesn't currently have the capability to limit a user profile the way you'd like to, so this is a great opportunity to share with our product development team why this would be useful to you. Here's how you can do that: How do I submit feedback? We also have a page that's currently updated quarterly where you can see new features to the software, so you're welcome to bookmark that and keep an eye out to see if the development team has added something that'll be useful to you. Here's that link: QuickBooks Online Feature & Product Updates

I wish you the best in your search for an app! Take care and feel free to visit us again. :)

Is this still true? That we cannot set up a user to only do invoices without seeing company data?

Hey there mfr,

Thanks for joining in on this thread. This is correct, there isn't a way to add a user to only do invoices. I encourage you to submit feedback to our developers by following the directions provided above.

added information:

We don't want the employee seeing any other company data. Just creating, editing, deleting, printing, and  submitting invoices.

Consider having a separate app for that purpose. Explore this free invoicing app as a workaround if you are not using QB Payment to accept payments.

The whole point is to have it done in one place. Seems like it would only make sense to be able to do this here....... Sad because this should be a normal task that should be done here while having the ability of limiting access to only the task of doing invoices.

It’s absolutely crazy that QuickBooks doesn’t have this feature yet.  Come on QBO get it done!

I agree, that's crazy that you can't do that on QBO. This is a very basic function that so many service businesses need!
