When trying to upload an IIF file into QB Desktop 2016, I get the error: "Only the QuickBooks administrator or an External Accountant can perform this action." even though my user is set up as External Accountant. Any clues as to why I am getting this error? Thank you.

It sounds like you may have a broken user. This can happen when there is there is data integrity issues in the company file. Don't sweat. The process to resolve this is easy as 1, 2, 3.
I recommend having the admin user recreate your user profile. I've included the steps to do this below.

Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
