How to Change Multi-User to Single User Mode in QuickBooks Desktop:

Switching from multi-user to single-user mode is necessary when you need exclusive access to QuickBooks. Here's how you can do it:

  • Make sure all other users log out of QuickBooks.
  • Go to the "File" menu in the top left corner.
  • Select "Switch to Single-user Mode." If you're already in single-user mode, there will be an option to switch to multi-user mode or this option may be grayed out.
  • A confirmation prompt may appear. Click "Yes" to proceed.
 

QuickBooks will now be in single-user mode, allowing you exclusive access to the company file.
