User Access

Access to a MYOB company file can depend on a user's online access level. By default, the company File does not have a password set, but an administrator can set a password to restrict access.

If you encounter an "Access Denied" message when attempting to use the MYOB exporter, it is likely because a password has been set or changed for the MYOB company file since you last used it. If you have access to it, you can click the padlock icon when opening the MYOB exporter to enter your company file credentials.

There are three online access levels:

  • Online Owner: The highest access level, assigned to the individual who originally set up the subscription.

  • Online Administrator: Can access and manage any company file associated with the owner's software serial number.

  • Online File User: This is the most basic level of access, allowing the user to work with company files they have been invited to use.
