Hi there, @satC.

As of now, the View-only (read) option is only available in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Enterprise. You'll want to upgrade your version to use this.

I'll let our product engineers know of this feature request so they'll consider adding this in the future. In the meantime, you'll want to visit our Product Updates page to know about the latest news and updates in QuickBooks.

You can also visit our Account management page to learn some best practices on managing your QBDT.

Don't hesitate to drop by here in the Community if have other concerns or questions. We're always here ready to help you anytime. Have a great day!
