Hi there:

No they never did resolve this.  Basically you have to have Admin role to pay bills.  We finally just set up a separate Melio account online and one of my employees goes in and sets up payments.  I then approve them online through Melio.  This is not nearly as nice as direct payment.  My wife also uses QB and she has a similar issue but she heard that during the second half of 2023 Melio will be able to connect to QB desktop without limitations.  It works great if a person is Admin but does not work for anyone else.
