Payroll G/L Access

Posted By FormerMember

Sage 50 Quantum does not seem to allow the restriction of certain G/L accounts.  Users are set up, accesses are modified, payroll is removed as access.  The users need to view the G/L, however, they do not need to view the Wages G/L.  When Payroll information (journals/ledgers, etc) is restricted in the 'user setup',as well as the Banking information, etc -  why would the Wages G/L be accessible still?

  • Hi TVR,

    Since it looks like you are using Sage 50 Canada, I am going to move your post to that Support Group so that other users of this software will see it and can offer you their thoughts and insight.

    Thanks,

    Derek

  • I agree this is ridiculous. It's a drawback for any company with more than one accounting user, any company over 15 people...  

  • Users are set up, accesses are modified, payroll is removed as access.  The users need to view the G/L, however, they do not need to view the Wages G/L.

    You're right, there is no account-level security.   There is no way to allow sufficient access to allow some tasks (i.e. reconciliation) without showing payroll cheque and deduction transaction totals and entries, but those amounts don't show hours worked, pay rates, vacation, sick days, etc.

    There may be a way to get non-Payroll users what they need, without using the G/L module's reports directly. 

    What privacy issue is causing difficulty?
