User and permissions for memorized reports

Hello,

I have a question about memorized reports and user access. Recently we had to "downgrade" my permissions in Quickbooks because of some contracts that we were working on getting. Now I can still open my memorized report and make changes to the filters, headers etc... but when I try to replace the previous memorized report, it says that I don't have permission:  "You need "Modify" access under Memorized Report List to perform this action."  Since I am not the admin, I can't see the options that are available in order to allow me to memorize reports again. Can anyone tell me what the options are (and where) so I can tell the admin how to change this setting?

 

Thanks!

Thank you for contacting us about your permission when memorizing reports, dianna23.

 

You can tell the admin to mark the Modify box so you can replace the report. Let me guide you through the steps on how to do it.

 

  1. Go to the Company menu.
  2. Select Users, then Users and Roles.
  3. Proceed to the Role List tab.
  4. Select the role, then click Edit to review its permissions.
  5. In the Area and Activities section, click Reports.
  6. Choose Partial, then click Modify.
  7. Once you set the permissions, select OK to save.

 

After that, close and re-open QuickBooks for changes to take effect. Then, open again the report and memorize it.

While having modify rights to all reports will give you the rights you need, the message is referring specifically to the ability to modify memorized reports, to ""Modify" access under Memorized Report List", which looks like this:

I'm not seeing the "Users" or "Users Roles" under Company on my desktop Premier Contractor Edition 2020.  Can you help with where to find this?

Thanks for sharing your concern about the Users option in QuickBooks, mtshoberg.

 

The Users option including managing roles is only available in QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise. Since you're using QuickBooks Desktop Premier Contractor Edition 2020, what you have is the Set Up Users and Passwords option. From there you can change user password and access.

 

Here's how:

  1. Go to Company.
  2. Choose Set Up Users and Passwords.
  3. Select Set Up Users.
  4. Choose a user and click Edit.
  5. Make the necessary changes. Click Next.
  6. Follow the onscreen instruction.

For more information about managing users, check out this article: QuickBooks Desktop Users and Restrictions.
