Windows user rights in QB2006

Nov 23, 2005 5 Replies

Has Intuit fixed the user rights requirements for 2006? In 2005 (and maybe



2004) they forced users to be Power Users or Administrators just to launch QB. That's a security risk we and many of our customers are unwilling to take. NONE of Intuit's competitors require users be admins or power users. Other than sorry programming skills, can anyone point out why this requirement exists when all I want is an employee to be able to cut an invoice? Why should I have to give them access to other parts of Windows just to let them cut an invoice?

Thanks... Brian Bergin

You don't. You can use the competitiors' products. It will be your way of sticking it to the man.

Yep, seems like it's time to upgrade to MS Small Business Accounting.

The verb should be switch not upgrade. Good luck.

I'm not sure about that. Sure seems like there are many more options in MSSBA plus a modern interface and Microsoft's support network to back it up. As an MS Partner that only gives us more of a reason to upgrade. Quickbooks has been going downhill since 2004 and as of 1 Jan 06 we're dumping it.

Best of luck on that one. Hope you don't need online banking.
