How can more than one person work on QuickBooks® at a time?

The Multi-user mode in QuickBooks® Pro and Premier allows up to 5 users to collaborate on the same company file at the same time. All users must be networked and must each have their own QuickBooks® license.

 

How can I restrict access to certain areas by individual user?

You can create “users” to access the company file. When creating the users, you will be able to set up permissions for areas that a particular user has access to. However, just because a user is “restricted” in one company file, doesn't mean that if the same user opens a different file, they'll have the same restrictions. They could create a separate company file and have full access. So rights are restricted based on which company file you open, not to the application. There's no feature that allows someone to restrict areas based on the installation on the system.
