Do you use Quickbooks Payments to accept payments from your business’s customers? If so, you should familiarize yourself with the four following user roles. Quickbooks Payments makes it easy to accept payments. It offers credit card, debit card and ACH bank transfer payments. There are multiple user roles supported by Quickbooks Payments, however, each of which has a different level of privileges. As a result, you’ll need to give your employees an appropriate user role. Below are the four primary user roles from which you can choose when using Quickbooks Payments.

#1) Full Admin

The user role with the highest level of privileges is Full Admin. Full Admin users have unrestricted access to Quickbooks Payments. They can add new users as well as delete existing users. When using Quickbooks Payments, you’ll need at least one Full Admin user. Otherwise, you won’t be able to add or delete users.

#2) Limited Admin

The user role with the second-highest level of privileges in Quickbooks Payments is Limited Admin. Limited Admin users can perform all the tasks as their Full Admin counterparts with the exception of accessing account profiles. In other words, they can’t edit or otherwise modify the details of merchants.

#3) Full User

Full user, as you may have guessed, is the user role with the third-highest level of privileges in Quickbooks Payments. They are restricted from accessing the account and user management sections in Quickbooks Payments.

#4) No Access

Finally, No Access is a user role that doesn’t have access to the Quickbooks Payments service center. According to Intuit, the No User role should be assigned to GoPayment users.
