QuickBooks and its users.
We have users in the office that require the use of quick books.
I have been instructed to install it on workstations etc. What I have come
to find is that in order to even run QuickBooks you need to be a power users
(this is the lowest membership) or Administrator of the machine you're
using.
This all being said poses a problem. Typically users of the system aren't
granted any rights in the domain other than Domain User. A few exceptions
have been made for some of the "SUITS" and "Programmers / Developers" whom
need full admin rights over the machine they use. This isn't the case for
every user, and I now seem to have to grant more rights to the user over the
workstation that they are using.
I know. If I was the one reading this I would reply with an answer like:
"If you can't trust your users to have elevated rights on your computer(s),
then why the hell would you trust them with data inside of QuickBooks.
The only answer I can get from the support at QuickBooks is that this is the
way the software works due to all the many background process that run
pertaining to their software.
So. now does any one have a suggestion for me as to how I can protect my
workstations and let users use software they need to do their job with?
