Welcome to the Community, Lynne!
Yes, the read only access feature when adding an accountant is unavailable in the current offering in QBO. In-house accountant users have access to all reports, bookkeeping, and accounting tools, but they cannot access payroll or perform admin tasks such as managing users.
QuickBooks Online (QBO) has the ability to add multiple user types to be able to give different access, limiting each user to what he or she can view and change. With that said, we'll need to add a user in QuickBooks Online to manage their roles and limit their access to specific tasks.
I also personally sent feedback about the option of being able to set users to view specific parts of your company. You can also send one by following these steps:
- Log in to your QuickBooks Online account.
- Click the Gear icon and click Feedback.
- Enter your suggestion and click Next.
If you need more help in accomplishing your other QBO tasks, please let me know by adding a comment below. Have a good day!
