Right Access for the Right People

Not everyone needs to see everything. Your bookkeeper doesn't need admin settings. Your manager doesn't need to change the chart of accounts. BizBooks Pro lets you assign the right level of access to each team member.

Users can even have different roles in different companies - perfect for accountants managing multiple clients or businesses with separate entities.

Five Built-In Roles

Admin

Full system access. The business owner or primary administrator.

Manager

Manager with approval authority. Can oversee operations without system settings access.

Accountant

Full accounting operations. Perfect for your external accountant or CPA.

Bookkeeper

Day-to-day data entry and basic reporting. May require approval for certain actions.

Viewer

Read-only access. See data without changing anything.

Per-Company Roles

A single user can have different roles in different companies:

Primary Admin Access Across Companies

Every BizBooks Pro installation has one primary admin, usually whoever installed the software. This account can manage the people on any company in the installation, even a company it doesn't belong to.

Here's why that matters. Say an employee builds out a company for a new location and forgets to add you. You own the installation, but you aren't on that company's user list, so normally you'd have no way to put yourself there. The primary admin sidesteps the problem: you can pull up any company's users, send an invitation, drop in a team member who already has an account, or change somebody's role.

This is scoped to people, not money. Managing a company's user list doesn't hand you its transactions, invoices, customers or reports -- those still follow the five roles listed above. Who's on the team and what they're allowed to see stay two separate questions.

Audit Trail

Every action is logged with the user who performed it. Know exactly who created, edited, or approved each transaction.
