The close your books setting in QuickBooks Online allows you to lock your books at the end of your financial year or VAT quarter to allow any unwanted changes being made. The setting can be accessed by navigating to the Cog > Account & settings > Advanced > Accounting > Close the books. If left turned off, no approval will be needed when entering new transactions or editing existing.
