You can use the Remove From Remote Data Access option to remove a company from RDA.

When would I need to do this?

• When you no longer want to use RDA for that company and don't want users to access the company data remotely
• As part of the process to reset Remote Data Access, which is a fix if you’re experiencing issues with RDA
• Sage 50 Accounts v27 only - You want to set up a different computer to be the main site on RDA

NOTE: If you want to remove remote access from one computer but still use RDA for other sites, don't use the Remove option. Instead use the Disconnect From Remote Data Access article.

Back up your data

Take a backup of your data before you begin. Ensure all users log out of the relevant company. 

Make a note of current Remote Data Access users

To re-upload your company to Remote Data Access and reconnect users, note each remote user's Sage account email address.

1. Log into Sage as Manager.
2. Go to Settings, then User Management, then Users.
3. Note each users Sage account email address.
