    Hello Aziza07,

     

    If someone needs access to your file, they'll need to have user access set up— otherwise, they won't be able to view it. Since the Read Only option isn't available for you to select, the best step is to reach out to support team directly on Live Chat via our virtual assistant, MOCA, so they can help you out.

     

    Cheers,

    Doreen

Hi Aziza07,

Welcome to the Community Forum! A read-only user can be set up in AccountRight by going to Setup >> User Access >> Selecting their user ID (on the left-hand) and tick the option Read Only (right-hand side). More information on roles can be found on help article: Set up roles

Regards,
Earl

Thanks heaps Earl

 

I have done a dummy run on that and sent an invite to myself or the read only button wouldn't highlight

 

Was hoping you could do it like we used to prior to the online versions of physically giving them a read only file not linked to our subscription
