why standard user limited supplier only can't select project name in Expenses?

Hi there, MohamedAbujreda.

 

I'm here to share some insights about adding different options for user roles in QuickBooks Online. If you choose the limited access rights for Suppliers only, you can't choose what permission you'd like to give. To learn more about what a user can and can't access, I suggest browsing this article: What Different Types of Users Can I Add to my Company?.

 

For more information about user types, you can check out this article: Learn About User Types in QuickBooks Online.

 

Additionally, I've added articles that'll help you manage users who can access your account: 

 

It's always my pleasure to help. In case you have other concerns or questions about adding users, I encourage sharing more details here in the Community.

Hi CharleneMae,

 

Thank you for your prompt reply.

let me explain something!

I have assigned an employee for projects expenses who is responsible for inserting theses expenses in quickbooks online only.

So I gave him standard user limited only for vendors/suppliers, however; he can not assign which expense to which project or customer.

My question is, is there anyway to let him do so?

Yes, there is a way, MohamedAbujreda.

 

Glad to have you back here in the Community. Thanks for sharing more details about your concerns. 

 

Assigning expenses to a project or customer is only accessible if you choose the limited access rights for Customers. For your employee to do so, you'll have to provide to him/her the said access.

 

Here's how:

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Select Manage Users.
  3. Locate the name of your employee, then click Edit under the Action column.
  4. On the Select access rights, click Limited, then place a checkmark beside Customers.
  5. Select the other user settings, if applicable.
  6. Click Save.

Once done, ask the user to sign out and back into QuickBooks Online to see the updates.

 

For more information about managing your user in QuickBooks, I suggest checking this article: Add and Manage Users.

 

Additionally, to keep track of the changes made by your users, view the history in the audit log.

 

It's my pleasure to assist you. Please know that I'm always here to help you have other concerns or questions about user roles and access rights.

Hi there, @MohamedAbujreda.

 

Allow me to clarify about giving users access rights to manage project expenses.

 

For now, the only way a user can access Projects to create expenses is by limiting it to access Customers.

 

I know how beneficial it is to assign a user to create expenses in the Project feature and disabling it to create, update, and delete sales. I'm taking note of this one and see when our developer can add this feature in future updates.

 

Also, the articles shared by my colleague can benefit you in managing user access.

 

I'll add this page to see articles relevant to this thread like recording advance payment, handling credits, and refunds for a supplier: Manage Suppliers and Expenses.

 

I encourage you to post a comment anytime you need help in QuickBooks. We're here to help you in the Community. Have a great weekend!

Hello Sir,

 

Could you please note me when you are going to add the mentioned below feature to the Supplier user or should I use an integrated application such as Expensify to overcome this problem?
