Hello

 

I need help to:

1)Find out who the current online administrstor is for our business file

and

2) to potentially change /add an online administrator 

 

The accountant is on long Service Leave and I need to set up a new user but cant do so without being the online administrator or Company File owner

 

Please help

 

 

  • Hi PeterM3
     
    Thanks for your post. Please allow me to extend to you a very warm welcome to the Community Forum. We are glad that you found this forum a useful tool. We are sorry that you are having challenges setting up a new user to the company file due to the administrator or owner of the file is on leave. We are truly thankful for your patience and understanding during this time. 
     
    To change or add an online administrator to the company file, you are correct that only the owner or administrator user can access the user page to add other users. In this case, you would need to advise the administrator or the owner of the company file to set up a new user for you. You may find more information and instructions in our Help Article: Invite a user to an online file.
     
    Regarding your other question to check who is the current online administrator, could you please confirm the last 4 digits of your product serial number? This can be found by going to Help >> About MYOB AccountRight. 
     
     
    Do let me know if you have any further trouble with that.

      Hi Leneth

       

      Thanks for your reply

       

      In relation to finding out who the online administrator is, after going to Help about, I get this popup – which doesn’t appear to show our serial number

       

       

      If I go into the company set up I see that the last 4 numbers of our serial number are 2031

       

      I appreciate your help in helping identify the account owner which will be a good first step

       

      The second step still will remain difficult to change the owner because that person is on leave and I am not able to get in contact with them while they are on leave. They are away for the next 6 months

       

      So it  most likely will not be possible to have them change account owner. Is there another way?

       

      Regards

       

      Peter
