Change a user's online access level

As people within your business change roles, the type of access they have to AccountRight and the tasks you need them to perform in relation to your company files might also need to change.

For example, as a staff member takes on more administrative responsibility, you might want to change them from an online file user to an online administrator.

For information on what online access levels there are and the functions each can perform, see Set a user's online access level.
