Getting Started with My Account

As an Account Owner, you will be the first to receive your activation email after creating an account. You will first create a password, sign into My Account, and verify your information. When that is complete, you will enter an account setup assistant that will help you add QuickBooks licensing, create additional users, and assign cloud hosting packages to those users.

Note: This tool should only be used for top-level accounts. If you are a CPA firm or would like to have client accounts, please only create your firm users here. Your client organizations and users will be created after the initial setup.

1. Sign in to My Account.
Note: Your user must have the Account Owner privileges.
2. Review the information entered by you or your sales agent, and click “Next“.

3. On the next page you will add QuickBooks licenses to your organization’s license pool. You have the option to provide owned QuickBooks licenses, purchase, or lease licenses. Click on Add License and fill in your license information. When you are finished, click Next.

If you click Next, the user will automatically receive a welcome email with instructions on how to set up Right Networks. If you want to send these instructions later instead, uncheck Send this user their welcome email after they’re created.

7. After you’ve entered the required information for your new user, choose a hosting package to assign.
Note: If you assign a package and do not have any available, an additional package will be purchased for your account.

8. Once you’ve selected a package, click “Add User”.
9. On the next page you’ll deploy a QuickBooks license to your new user. During this process, you will only be able to deploy one license, however, you or your users will be able to install additional copies of QuickBooks. Please see the QuickBooks Licensing article for detailed instructions.

10. Repeat steps 5-9 until you’ve added all of your users. When you’re finished, click “Next” on the main screen. Finally, click Continue to My Account to complete your account setup.

After adding an available package to a user they will then be able to log in to the Right Networks environment.

Note: They will also need to have a QuickBooks license and folder access assigned to utilize Right Networks as intended. To learn how to do these tasks please visit the other FAQ articles available.

You can add as many users as you would like to Right Networks but only users with a package can access the Right Networks environment. To add a user to your organization, please follow the steps outlined below.

1. Sign in to My Account.
Note: Your user must have the Account Admin or Account Owner privileges.
2. Click on the tab labeled “Users”.
3. Click on the “Add User” button and enter the requested information.

Note: Each subscription can only have one Account Owner. The different roles are defined as:

Account Owner: Able to perform any actions needed for the account, including, but not limited to: adding or removing users, managing packages, modifying or canceling an organization.
Account Admin: Can perform most actions, including creating new users, managing packages, and managing licenses.
Billing Admin: Can manage packages, licensing, and update billing information.
Support: Can view users, perform password resets, unlock accounts, and resend welcome emails.
Users: Regular accounts that can log in to their hosted desktops and perform some basic self-management actions
Users (no catalog): Accounts cannot get to the App Catalog and won’t be able to deploy their own apps.

What do the different roles mean?

In our system, we use a few different terms for the user roles. Each of those roles have different responsibilities.

An Account Owner has master control over the account. This user can modify all aspects of the account. As the master user, the Account Owner is the only user who can assign another user as the Account Owner. The Account Owner can also delegate tasks to other users such as an Account Admin or Billing Admin.

An Account Admin serves as backup to the Account Owner. Admins can add or remove users, purchase or lease QuickBooks licenses, or complete tasks on behalf of the Account Owner. Admins cannot reset the Account Owner password.

A Billing Admin is intended to manage hosting packages, QuickBooks licensing, and can also update billing information for the account. Billing admins cannot login to the remote desktop

Support contacts can manage basic tasks on behalf of users. Support contacts have visibility to all users on the account and can reset passwords, resend activation emails, and unlock a user’s account if they get locked out from too many bad password attempts. Admins cannot reset the Account Owner password.

Finally, User (catalog) and User (no catalog) users are standard users with no special permissions. A User (catalog) can add QuickBooks* to their desktop if they have a package attached. Users (no catalog) cannot add their own applications and must have applications added by the Account Owner or an Account Admin.
* If the attached hosting package includes third party applications, only applications included in that specific package can be added.

4. Once all information is completed, click the “Next” button.
5. On the next page, select a cloud package for the new user. If the new user does not require access to the hosted desktop, select “No Package”.
Note: If you assign a package and do not have any available, an additional package will be purchased for your account.

6. Once you’d assign a package, click “Add User“. The new user will automatically receive an activation email.

Once the user has been added you can then perform the additional tasks necessary to get them set up such as granting them folder access, adding QuickBooks licensing and adding additional applications.

Please do not attempt to move, rename, add, or remove folders from within the Right Networks environment, as our system will not recognize these actions.
