Know Everything About QB Multi-User Mode
Here are a few a user must know about the multi-user mode:
•The QuickBooks application has two modes of work: single-user mode and multi-user mode. Single mode
lets a single user access and work on the company file at a time. On the other hand, multi-user mode lets
various users open the file at once on the network.
•Different types of hosting include Dedicated hosting, peer-to-peer hosting, alternate hosting, and others.
•A multi-user license enables several individuals with their own QuickBooks license to access a single
QuickBooks company file concurrently over a network. While all users must possess their licenses, if users
take turns accessing the file, having multiple individuals sharing a single user account is feasible. Proper
folder permissions and mapping setup are essential for this arrangement.
