Everyone who has access to your MYOB business is listed on the Users page, accessed by clicking your business name and choosing Users.

The Users page is where you can:

When you add a user, they'll be sent an invitation to access your MYOB business. The invitation has all the info they'll need to get started.

Typically you'll invite anyone who needs to sign in to your MYOB business. This includes your accounting advisor or bookkeeper. That's right—no more office visits or sending them your data.

Everyone you invite will be able to access your MYOB business at the same time. But you'll keep your data safe by choosing which parts of your MYOB business each user can access.

Users and advisors

When you invite someone to access your MYOB business, you'll choose whether they'll be a user or an advisor.

User

This is the default user type for most of your staff members.

AdvisorThis could be your accountant, bookkeeper or any other person that you may want to help manage your books.

Inviting users

To invite users to your MYOB business you must be either:

  • the owner of the business (the person who created the subscription)
  • a user with the Administrator role and have been invited to access All businesses under this serial number.

If you're ready to jump right in and invite some users, see create users or create advisors.

Roles and permissions

Roles and permissions, available in the Access section of the Users page, control the parts of your MYOB business a user or advisor can access.

For example, a user with the Sales role can only access sales related functions and reports. But the Administrator role gives a user access to all features and functions. You'll choose a user's roles when you invite them. See create users or create advisors.

Only users with the Administrator role can change other users' roles and permissions.
