User with full access cannot open Payroll Setup

Even if they have full access and are in single-user mode, secondary users that are not the Admin or External Accountant cannot open the Payroll Setup. If they try to open the Payroll Setup, they will get the error message:

Only the QuickBooks administrator or an External Accountant can perform this action. You must reopen the company file and log in as the Admin or External Accountant to do this.

Restriction to the full payroll setup is as designed. Only the QuickBooks Administrator or an External Accountant can perform this action. If the secondary users have full access, they can still access the change payment method and change filing method portions of payroll setup from the payroll center.

Users without payroll permissions can see payroll information on reports and the calendar

  1. Sign in as the QuickBooks Admin.
  2. Go to the Company menu, then select Setup Users and Passwords > 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.
Note: If the user has access to sensitive accounting reports like Balance Sheet or Profit & Loss, they will still see the names and amounts on paychecks.
