It's a delight to have you here in the Community, @smohan!

 

I'll outline a couple of handy details to help you change the admin rights in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

When the admin is no longer with the company, you can request a primary admin change. This way, you can transfer the access rights or role to an existing user. 

 

To get started, you'll need to submit the required documents to verify that you have rightful ownership of the account. After that, you'll have to sign in to QBO and complete the form. For more details, please review this article: Request to be the primary admin or contact.

 

Once done, our compliance team will review the request. Be on the lookout for an email from no_response@intuit.com for its status.

 

After transferring the admin rights in QuickBooks, you can now manage users to grant access to your company. This way, they can help you perform certain tasks essential for your business.

 

I'm still up and running to answer other questions about handling users in QuickBooks. I'd be here to extend a helping hand.

Had Intuit declined your claim of Master Admin credential, you may have 2 options as a workaround as long as you are still able to login as Company Admin.

Hi ReyJon_D,

 

I submitted the required documents online and also received the acknowledgment on March 9th. So far, I haven't seen any further communication and am still not able to use the quickbooks as it is in suspended state as we couldn't update the subscription. Is there any way this can be resolved fast. I would like to know if there is any phone number of customer care where I can talk to a person and resolve ASAP.

 

Please help.

 

Thank you,

Best,

Satish
