There's a way to restrict a user from accessing your register, pankratztrucking.

 

The Standard user type can permit limit access but can't view your bank accounts. Please check out this article for details: Get To Know User Types and Permissions

 To set up a new Standard User, please follow these steps:

  1. Click on the Gear icon.
  2. Select Manage Users and click on New.
  3. Choose Standard User and click on Next.
  4. Select Limited and check the Customers and Vendors boxes. 
  5. Click on Next.
  6. Select the user settings and click on Next
  7. Enter the name and email add.
  8. Click on Save.

Refer to this article for the steps: How To Add, Delete, or Change a User's Access

NO.

 

Even if "STANDARD USERS", they can still view the "Transaction Details" by Account or Date (ie Salaries, or any kind of posting transaction).

So  there's no use of restricting the USERS in QB.

Let me share additional information about the multi-user access in QuickBooks, @ctallod.

 

Restricting your user's access depends on the specific role and task they have to perform. You can limit the access granted to your Standards users. Yes, they can see the Transaction Details by Account report. However, they can't view your bank's register. 

 

Also, you can add them as a Standard user but they can't use any of the accounting features in your account. You can use this article for more insights: You can do WHAT in QuickBooks? Enabling multiple users.
