Buy nowwe have the three user version of quickbooks. we currently have an inactive person listed as the primary admin, plus myself as company admin, and third person that does the payroll. we just appointed a new treasurer and would like to have her become the primary admin. i have read a few on0line articles and the instructions say that you can elevate an existing user to the primary admin position. but we already have three users defined so i don't think i can add the new person as a user. is there a way to remove the existing primary admin so we have a vacant user position open? then i would think we could add the new person and then elevate her to primary admin. any ideas on how to do this?
I'll help you through the process of transferring the Primary Admin role and resolving your user limit concern in QuickBooks Online (QBO), chic316860.
Since the Primary Admin is inactive, you'll need to request to become the Primary Admin yourself.
Once you have the role, you'll have the necessary authority to manage all the users, including deleting the inactive ones. Here's how:
Once the slot is vacant, you can now add the newly appointed treasurer as a user with an Admin role. You can see this article and see the Add a new user section for a detailed step-by-step process: Add and manage users.
After that, you're now ready to transfer the primary admin role to the new user.
