In addition, Intuit is also changing some existing roles. Standard limited customers only role will be changed to Accounts Receivable Manager, with users gaining additional access to record bank deposits and submit expense claims,

The Standard limited vendors only role becomes the role Accounts Receivable Manager. Users will be eligible to be designated as approver for bills when setting up approval workflows in QBO Advanced and QB Bill Pay Elite.

The standard all access without payroll role becomes In House Accountant, with such users eligible to be designated as approvers for bills when setting up approval workflows in QBO Advanced or with QB Bill Pay Elite.
