How can you set user permissions in QuickBooks?

Setting user permissions in QuickBooks is done by creating user accounts in the Manage Users section of the Company menu. This area is specifically designed for managing user access and permissions, allowing administrators to designate which areas of the company file each user can view and modify.

When you access Manage Users, you can add new users, modify existing ones, and set specific permissions based on the roles that users need to fulfill. The capability to control access at this granular level enhances security and ensures that sensitive financial information is only accessible to authorized personnel.

The other choices refer to different functionalities within QuickBooks that do not pertain specifically to user permissions management. For instance, the Preferences menu allows users to customize various settings related to their overall use of QuickBooks, but it does not offer detailed controls for setting up or modifying user permissions. Adjusting settings under the Accountant section pertains to features useful for accountants rather than user access controls. Lastly, the QuickBooks App settings connect to the integration and functionality of third-party applications but lack the functionality necessary for managing user permissions directly within the QuickBooks platform.
