Create users in Sage 50 Accounts v27 and above
Description

If multiple people use Sage 50 Accounts, set up individual logins to track activity and control access to different areas.

On multi-user versions, set up individual users so more than one can process in a company at once.

Using Sage 50 Accounts v26.3? See our article for earlier versions.

 

NOTE:

Your licence determines how many people can log on at once.  To add more users to your licence, just leave your details and we'll get in touch.

Create Password / Confirm Password

Adding a password to a username is optional but does provide extra security.
