Is a 5 user license good for 5 people or 5 concurrent users?

Welcome to the Community space, randy.

I am here to provide useful information regarding adding user in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Your user license enables you to have up to five concurrent users, depending on your subscription's usage limit. If you plan to add a part-time bookkeeper, they can have their own login credentials or use the same login as yours. 

You can check this article to learn more about user limits: Learn about usage limits in QuickBooks Online.

Moreover, to check usage limits for your company here is how:

1. Sign in to QuickBooks Online as an admin.
2. Navigate to Settings, then select Account and Settings.
3. Click on the Usage tab and there you can view the usage limits.

Furthermore, you have the ability to add a user and assign specific roles to the added user. This allows you to limit their access to certain tasks and choose what they can see and do within different areas of QuickBooks such as customers and sales, vendors and purchases, and more.
