Invite Intuit Account users to QuickBooks Desktop for Mac

Learn how to add an Intuit Account user to your company file.

You’ll need an Intuit Account to sign in and connect your products.

An Intuit Account is different from your QuickBooks company user ID. A QuickBooks user ID gives access to basic features. You can create an invoice or pay a bill. The Intuit Account gives access to all connected Intuit services for your company.

Invite a new Intuit Account

1. Select QuickBooks, then Settings.
2. Select Intuit Account.
3. Sign in with your admin Intuit Account credentials.
   Note: Use an Administrator's Intuit Account when you sign in as the Admin.

4. Select Invite User.
5. Enter the user’s email and name.
6. Select Send Invite.

The account shows as pending until they accept and then will show as user. They’ll be able to sign in to the company file and connect to their Intuit Account.

If they try to connect to their Intuit Account without the invite, they’ll receive an Access Required dialog. The admin can resend the invite or can delete a user to remove access.
