Roles Tab not available under User manage menu, how to customize roles for each accesses.

Hello, audit-eminence-m. Thanks for taking the time to post your inquiry about user management in QBO. 

 

The Roles tab for customizing a user permission is only available in the Advanced versions of QBO. For now, this is only offered in select regions such as the US, UK, Canada, and Australia.

 

For other regions, these preset permission levels can be assigned when adding new users:

 

  • All access for Primary Admin and Company Admin
  • Limited for Standard users (customer and sales, suppliers and purchases)
  • None for Time tracking and Reports only users

 

You can also follow these steps on how to assign these roles when inviting a user:

 

  1. Go to the Gear or Settings ⚙ icon and select Manage users.
  2. Click Add user, then enter the user’s name and email address.
  3. In the drop-down list for Roles ▼, select a preset role that you want to assign to the user.
  4. Review the features this role gives access to. You can expand each section.
  5. Select the Account management settings you want to manage (if applicable for the chosen role).
  6. Click Send invitation.

 

Let me share these articles for more details about user management in QBO: 

 

 

Please feel free to post any follow-up questions you have about inviting and setting user permissions, audit-eminence-m. I'd be happy to provide additional guidance about user management capabilities as well as working in QBO in general.

Hi, had the same issue and came across they when searching. So in Asian region we don't have option. what is the best way If I have to do below. 

     1. Wanted to have a user who can enter transaction (expenses/income)  in which he can attached evidence (paper receipt ) related to the transaction. 

     2. Also user able to see transaction entered by him only 

   

As a admin , I can assign these transactions to different project / accounts after assessing each transaction.

Welcome to the thread, Omilaj. I'll be happy to answer your question.

 

In the QuickBooks Online (QBO) International region, you can add a user as a Standard limited customers and suppliers. However, this access will not restrict the user to view their own created transactions.

 

To learn more about the things the user can and can't do, you can see the details below.

 

They can:

 

  • Enter estimates, invoices, sales receipts, credit notes, refunds, charges, and credits
  • Create and delete statements
  • Receive payments from customers
  • Fill out timesheets for anyone
  • Add, edit, and delete customers, suppliers, products, and services
  • View customer registers
  • View customer and A/R reports
  • View supplier and A/P reports
  • Enter bills from suppliers
  • Pay bills, write and print cheques, and view cheque reports
  • Make bills and purchases billable to customers
  • Enter cash and credit card purchases
  • Add, edit, and delete projects
  • Add invoices, expenses, bills, time, purchase orders, project estimates, and receive payments to projects

 

They can't:

 

  • Add, edit, and delete accounts and quantity on hand
  • View bank registers
  • See total income and expense amounts on Home, Supplier, and Customer pages

 

To add this user role, here's what you'll need to do:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon at the top and choose Manage users.
  2. In the Manage users page, click the Users tab.
  3. From there, click the Add user button.
  4. Enter the Personal info from the Add a new user page.
  5. In the Roles section, choose Standard limited customers and suppliers.
  6. Click on the View all permissions dropdown to review user permissions.
  7. Click Send invitation once done.

 

After that, have the user check their email to accept the invitation by clicking the Let's go link in the email.

 

As for your concern about which plan has this option, it is available to all plan. However, it depends on your plan of how many users you can add.
