QuickBooks Accountant Desktop. I did an audit run and noticed as user it says external accountant. Is this correct?

I don't know if I am doing this right.  But, I did an audit run for the day and noticed it listed the user as external accountant which is not correct.  It should be an in house user.  Do I have a problem?

Hi there, DebbieGrandee.


Thank you for visiting the QuickBooks Community. I'd be happy to help share some information about the details that show in the audit trail report.


The usage of roles that shows on that report depends on the permission granted to each user or role. To verify the user's role, you can run the View user access report.

 

At this time, only the Admin can view the permissions granted to each user/role.


Here's how:

  1. At the top menu, select Company.
  2. Select Setup Users and Passwords then click Set Up Users.
  3. Highlight the user, then click View User.
  4. Click Edit User.

That report should show in which areas that user has access in your company file. However, if the permission granted is not correct, the Admin can edit the user's access.


Here's how:

  1. At the top menu, select Company.
  2. Select Setup Users and Passwords then click Set Up Users.
  3. On the User List window, select the username.
  4. Click Edit User.

For more details, please check out the articles below for your guide: QuickBooks Desktop Users and Restrictions.
