Schedule a MeetingTo open and access the company files you need to configure the multi user set up within QuickBooks.
You need to consider few of the things when you are setting up multi user in your system. They are:
- QuickBooks User Licenses: QuickBooks multi-user configuration depends upon the number of user licenses you have. This determines the number of people who can use QuickBooks software.
- File Sharing Setup: File sharing is imperative in multi-user setup. Because if you do not share your company file, the other users fail to access it no matter how many licenses you have.
- QuickBooks Database Manager: QuickBooks Database Server Manager is a tool that you can use to set up multi-user access. Knowing this tool is important in case you are going for multi-user setup.
For setting of multiple-user you need to follow the below steps:
- Open QuickBooks program
- In case you are prompted to update your company file -> Update your file to the new version
- Go to the File menu -> Click Utilities -> Click Host Multi-User Access.
- In case you view the message Stop Hosting Multi-User Access, it means your server is hosting multi-user access. When you see this message -> Click Stop Hosting Multi-User Access, and follow through the notification.
After, re-check the permissions to share a company file. The specific QBDataServiceUser for your version of QuickBooks needs Full Control access to the folder containing your QuickBooks company file. After that use the QuickBooks Database Server Manager to scan company files:
- Go to the Start button on the QB hosting system -> Click Programs -> Click QuickBooks -> Click QuickBooks Database Server Manager.
