Mr. ShanonI have tried everything, but there is no way i can stop the user to edit/ detlee transaction. i only assigned them to create and view a particular task but they are still able to edit and detlee the data. i have gone through the rebuild process, uninstalled and reinstalled as you have said but nothing is working. as you have said i can recheck the data in an audit trial report, but it is not practically possible to check such a vast amount of data, it restricts only when the company is closed and logged in again by the user, now it is not possible to monitor whether the user re-logged in after every transaction. i thought the basic reason for the check marks i. e. to create, view, edit, detlee in the (set up user roles) was to assign users what they can and cannot do, i believe the function is not serving its purpose, Quickbook is a very useful software, however this is creating severe problems. Any help would be highly appreciated.
