Manage permissions for apps to access a QuickBooks company file
by Intuit•7• Updated 10 months ago
Learn how to manage application permissions to access your QuickBooks Desktop company file.
You can do more with your QuickBooks Desktop company file when you give applications access to it. But if you have credit card data saved in your QuickBooks, we recommend that you don't allow other applications to access your company file.
Select either Application Permission Screen or Application Certificate Status to learn more about application access.
To block applications
- Go to Edit ✎ and select Preferences.
- Select Integrated Applications.
- Go to Company Preferences.
- Select Don't allow any applications access to this company file.
- Once the warning message appears, select OK.
- Select OK again.
Once done, no integrated applications will have access to your QuickBooks company file, including Intuit apps.
