For example, you may have three different companies, with separate accounts payable (AP) people for each company. An AP employee would have full access to Finance > Creditors via their access role, however, the business may only wish for that AP person to see creditor data from the one company that they are working for; this is where the company access settings step in. > ⚠️ Where there is a conflict between company access rights and user access roles, the stricter of the permissions will take effect. For example, if the user access role allows access to the Finance & Administration module but in the employee’s company access settings they do not have ‘allow financial administration’ checked for any company, the employee will **not** be able to access Finance & Administration. For this reason, company access settings are both necessary and useful even for those businesses that do not have multiple companies set-up in WorkBook. --- ## COMPANY ACCESS SETTINGS ![image](media://d5ff24f6-a5d7-4af8-aa62-ce4b286fff09) | | | | --- | --- | | **NUMBER** | **FUNCTIONALITY** | | **1** | The **further options **menu contains shortcuts to grant or revoke access to multiple companies in one go. | | **2** | All WorkBook companies will be listed in this area. | | **3** | The **check boxes** are where you can grant or revoke access to different modules or functions within a particular company. | --- ### Related articles > Macro (contentbylabel)
