Hi @Ursula113,

 

I'm here to take care of your query about the View Only user type in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). 

 

At this time, this user type is still an exclusive feature for QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise. I'd suggest following the workaround provided by my colleague @JaneD above, which is the Selective Access option for your users. This way, you can customize areas in your QBDT company where they have your permission to access.

 

Additional details on QBDT user types can be found in this article: QuickBooks Desktop Users and Restrictions. This includes steps on how you can set up users and roles, hide account balances from unauthorized users, as well as troubleshooting steps to resolve unexpected results. 

 

In case you'd like to utilize a multi-user network, see this article: Set up and install a multi-user network for QuickBooks Desktop. This is a step by step guide from setting up QBDT, all the way to turning on hosting for the company file.

 

Have other questions in mind? Post them in the comments below, and I'll be sure to get back to you.
