    Hi Shaylee,

     

    If you want your new staff member to use the same email as the previous person, no worries! You can just update the username instead of removing or making them inactive. Just head over to the browser version of MYOB, and follow the steps under "Change a user's name" in this link: Edit and delete users.

     

    Regards,

    Sai

The person has been here for 5 years and they have recorded in all company files. They are not an administrator though. So can i remove access  or should i make them inactive? and then invite a new person with the previous persons email?

      Hi Shaylee,

       

      You can definitely change the password linked to that email. Just head over to myaccount.myob.com to do it. The login for your MYOB account runs off the email’s own online password, so any changes have to happen there.

       

      Just a heads-up, the online password’s totally separate from anything in your actual file. Doesn’t matter if you add a new user or keep the same one, if you ever need to update the password, just jump into myaccount.myob.com and you’re good to go.

       

      Regards,
