Hi there, @vanessamoreno.

 

How are you doing today? I hope all is well. 

 

Yes, you're correct with your thinking. You will need permission from your account administrator to make any changes in the Account and Settings

 

Your Admin user can grant you access to certain fields of QuickBooks. They can do so by following these steps: 

 

  1. Click on the Gear Icon, then select Manage users.
  2. Find the user you want to edit, then click on Edit in the Action column.
    • You can change the user role from the Roles dropdown.
    • Note: Time tracking ‌roles can’t be edited. To change these, delete the user, and re-add them with the correct role.
  3. Select the account management settings you want to manage.
  4. Hit Save.

 

For more information about what you can do under each role, check out User roles and access rights

 

Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns. Take care!
