Hello there. Welcome to the Community.

 

I'll gladly share some insights about the available user roles and access permissions in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

There isn't a need to speak with an expert or one of our support to learn more about limiting users' access rights in QBO. However, if you need something else that requires pulling up your account, like billing issues, you can contact them by logging into QuickBooks and utilizing the Help menu. You can also refer to this article for the complete guide: QuickBooks Online Support.

 

Yes, you can limit users to have view-only access with the Standard User role. With this, you can restrict users from changing any content in your QBO account. To do this, set the user's access rights to the None option, where they're unable to use any of the accounting features. But you can still let them manage (view) certain things and submit their time sheets. Please see the screenshot below for your reference.
