What happens when a client is restricted? An MYOB Practice user (who's not an Administrator) can be restricted from viewing certain clients and other features that are related to that client. Here's a summary of how different activities in MYOB Practice are restricted for users who don't have access to a restricted client. UI Expand |

Why doesn’t the Transaction processing page show the files I created? If you’ve recently created a file, perhaps someone has restricted your access to the client. The Transaction processing page only shows files linked to clients you have access to. If your access has been removed, you can get access again by contacting an administrator in your practice. Another reason you might not see the client’s file on the Transaction processing page is if your user account or advisor account has been removed from within the client’s file. Learn about getting and removing access to a file.
