How can I give certain users read-only access in Sage 50 Accounts?
24 October 2022
Summary
One of the new features of v28.1 is to allow a set-up of a user with read-only access in Sage 50.
You may want to give certain users read-only access to your Sage 50 Accounts data. This will allow them to view data and reports, but not make any changes or data processing.
NOTE: This feature is only available in v28.1. You can check your version number from within Sage 50 Accounts via Help > About.
How do I set up a read-only user?
1. Login to Sage 50cloud Accounts as Manager or as an Administrator user.
2. Click Settings, select User Management then click Users.
3. Click New.
4. Choose the ‘Read-only‘ user type then click Continue.
5. Enter a User Name and specify a password if required, then click Continue.
6. Select all areas of the application that you want the user to have read-only access to, then click Continue.
7. Click Continue on the Remote Data Access section.
8. Click Save.
The read-only user is now set up and will have read-only access to the areas you selected when setting their access level.
