Hello there, ATA911203.

Being able to create journal entries is one permissions that an admin user have. If you're using QuickBooks Desktop Pro or Premier, we don't have an option to restrict them from editing journal entries. You can downgrade their access rights, however, they might not be able to create journal entries. You can use this link for more information: QuickBooks Desktop Users and Restrictions.

If you're using QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise, we might be able to manage the roles assigned to the user: Create and Manage Roles in QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise.

If you're still unable to restrict the user from editing journal entries (but can still create one), the only thing we can do is to keep track of the changes though the Audit Trail Report.

1. Click Reports at the top menu and select Accountant & Taxes.
2. Select Audit Trail.
3. You can customize the report if necessary.

From there, you'll see who edited the journal entry and what details were changed.

Feel free to get back to us if you have additional concerns.
