Overview
You can use the View Access and Notification Settings to share a QuickBooks company file. This allows users to use the SmartVault Toolbar and access documents attached to QuickBooks entries and documents stored in the SmartVault client portal under the VaultName/Applications/QuickBooks folder structure.
You can also use the View Access and Notification Settings to allow users to use the SmartVault Toolbar to view, download, upload, delete, edit document properties, and attach documents to some, but not all, QuickBooks entries. These users can also access documents attached to some, but not all, QuickBooks entries stored in the SmartVault client portal under the VaultName/Applications/QuickBooks folder structure.
For example, you can share a QuickBooks company file with users in the following ways:
- Allow the user Fred Fallon to use the SmartVault Toolbar to view, download, upload, delete, edit document properties, and attach documents to only entries associated with inventory in QuickBooks. And also, view, download, upload, delete and edit document properties for documents only attached to inventory entries using the SmartVault client portal. In the SmartVault client portal, documents associated with inventory QuickBooks entries are stored in the Items, ToDos, Vendors, Purchase Orders, Item Receipts, Bills & Credits, and Inventory Adjustments subfolders in the VaultName/Applications/QuickBooks/CompanyFileName/Documents folder structure. Restrict Fred from using the SmartVault Toolbar to work with any other entries in QuickBooks or view documents attached to any other entries in QuickBooks using the SmartVault client portal.
- Allow the user Gwen Gonzales to use the SmartVault Toolbar to view, download, upload, delete, edit document properties, and attach documents to all entries in QuickBooks. And also, to view, download, upload, delete and edit document properties for all documents attached to inventory entries using the SmartVault client portal.
Note
If you have shared the vault that the QuickBooks company file is, and you place users in vault-level groups using the Manage Group Members option, some of these users may also have access to the QuickBooks company file. However, these users are not displayed in this list. Only users who have been given access to the QuickBooks company file using View Access and Notification Settings are presented in this list. For more information about sharing a vault using the Manage Group Members option, see Sharing Vaults.
