How do we change user rolls making inactive items active?

Hello there, @armylife94.

You can adjust the user roles from the Company page in QuickBooks.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Company menu.
2. Select the Users, then click User Roles.
3. Hit the Role List.
4. Select a role and then select Edit to review its permissions.
5. In the Area and Activities section, select an area of your accounts. If you want, you can select None, Full, or Partial to set the access level.
6. Click OK, once done.

Thank you yes I have changed certain permission for users. But I can't find any relating to inactive items. I called Quickbooks they didn't know either. Wondering if anyone had a workaround or has found it in the past. 

Let me guide you in inactivating items , @armylife94.  

The process differs depending on the QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) version you've installed. If you're using Pro/Premier, the option to inactivate items isn't available. If you're using the Enterprise edition, you can change the access level. I'll show you how:

1. Go to the Company menu.
2. Choose the Users, then tap User Roles.
3. Press the Role List.
4. Select a roles and then click New to review its permissions.
5. In the Area and Activities section, choose List. 
6. Set the Area Access Level choose Partial, and modify the access level you want to grand for user. 
7. Click OK. 
   

However, for human error, it not possible, as our program can't identify it. Though, I have another workaround for that. For items that need not be active. You can add under item name DO NOT MAKE ACTIVE and mark check the Item is inactive.
