Important Security Update: Changes Coming to User Privileges in QuickBooks Online

Intuit is implementing significant updates to user privileges in QuickBooks Online (QBO) and QuickBooks Online Payroll (QBOP) starting September 2024. These changes will affect how non-admin users with standard and custom roles manage admin accounts.

At Peak Advisers, as your trusted QuickBooks Solution Provider and Intuit partner, we're committed to helping you navigate these updates designed to enhance your data protection.

Key Changes

  1. Non-Admin User Restrictions: Non-admin users will no longer be able to add, edit, or delete admin users. They will retain the ability to manage other non-admin users, ensuring minimal disruption to daily operations.

  2. Admin-Only Controls: In the future, only users with admin roles will have the authority to manage other admin users. This change aims to reduce the risk of unauthorized access and potential data breaches.

Why This Matters

These updates are crucial for safeguarding your financial information. By limiting the management of admin users to those with the highest level of access, you can have greater confidence in the security of your QuickBooks data.
