Hi TL1960,

I appreciate you for adding a screenshot. Let's modify some settings to get rid of the error.

You'll receive this error message since the full payroll setup is set to only the Administrator or an External Accountant can access it. For the Full Access role, your bookkeeper can still change the payment method and filing method when setting up payroll.

To resolve the issue, you'll need to remove sensitive reporting. Here's how:

1. Sign in as the QuickBooks Admin.
2. Go to the Company menu, then select Setup Users and Passwords, and then Set Up Users.
3. Highlight the user, then select Edit User.
4. Follow the Change User Password and Access wizard to remove sensitive reporting access.

Furthermore, you can check this article on how to manage user roles: Create and manage user roles.

You can always post in the forum whenever you have concerns about setting up payroll.
