  6. The Step 2 Add Licenses screen is to add existing QuickBooks licenses for users who will have QuickBooks in the environment. Licenses can be entered later if needed. In addition to license(s) an add-on would be required for users with an Intuit Lacerte/ProSeries Tax package to be able to install Quickbooks in the environment. Click Next when done.

The Step 4 Add Users & Assign Packages screen lets you add other users. You'll be able to get to a similar screen where you can add users later by signing into the Rightworks AppHub, going to the Admin Console, and clicking on the Users tab.

  1. Click Add User.
  2. If there won't be any additional users, click Next then skip down.
    • Select a role for the new user from the Role dropdown.
      • User (catalog) lets users install apps for themselves.
      • User (no catalog) does not let users install apps for themselves.
      • Account Admin is similar to the Account Owner role. These users can add/remove users, assign/unassign packages and add-ons, send password reset emails to users, and install apps for themselves and other users.
    • Enter the new user's First Name, Last Name, and Email Address (the email address entered cannot already be in use in Rightworks).

  5. Once any desired users have been added click Next.
