Multiple users and permission levels
How it works
Connect multiple users in different locations. Allow multiple users to access your account.

With QuickBooks Online Simple Start, you can set up 2 people as users so they can access your company data. With QuickBooks Online Essentials, you can set up 4 users. With QuickBooks Online Plus, you can set up 6 users.

  • Simultaneous access from any location
  • Anyone who needs to access your books can do so from any location with an Internet connection.
  • You and your employees can collaborate more easily, maximise time management, and make more informed decisions because everyone references the exact same information.
  • Remote financial updates
  • Your accountant can review your files from their office.
  • Business colleagues can get financial updates on the road, reducing the need for them to travel to your office.
  • One set of books, always updated
  • With all your financial information organised in one place, you avoid the confusion and hassles of swapping files on disk or through email.
  • Whether you have only one or as many as six users accessing your data, you always have one set of updated books.
  • You're always in control
  • You control who accesses your QuickBooks Online data and what they're allowed to see.
  • Set your own permission levels
    You can choose from multiple permission levels that let you limit the access privileges of each user:
  • The Administrator is the user who creates your company. They have full access rights and manage other users. You can transfer the Administrator role to another user.
  • You can grant customer access to any Standard User, which enables full access, or you can limit access to Customers and Sales, Suppliers and Purchases, or both Sales and Purchases.
  • Reports Only users can see reports about the company and banking information, but they can't enter information.
  • You can grant your Accountant (or bookkeeper) full access rights or limit them to reports only.
