Administrator user - Create a user with full access to company data

The ability to have multiple users means individual users can have their own login to your accounts, which is also a benefit if you don't want all employees having access to the MANAGER logon, which is the master login with access to all data and functions. When you create new users you can create logins that you can customise what they have access to in your accounts. However, there is an access level in Sage 50 Accounts v27 and above that you can use for users that don't need restricted access.

The administrator user has full access to company data and can do practically all functions in Sage 50 Accounts that the MANAGER logon can do, such as even create other users.

Notable things only the MANAGER logon can do is:

• Access Scheduled Backup
• Set up Remote Data Access
• Access Tools > Remote Data Access
• Access Remote Data Access Settings > Show Password/Passphrase
• Amend the access rights of an Administrator's own access. An administrator user cannot amend their own access rights
• View diary entries created by other users. Administrator users can only view their own diary entries.

TIP: Your licence determines being able to create additional users, and how many users can log on at once. To add more users to your licence, leave your details and we'll get in touch.
