Permissions for attachments

The main requirement for working with attachments is that you have permissions to attachments in the Company application and you have Add or Edit access to an Intacct application. To set permissions, see Assign permissions to users or Assign permissions to roles depending on your company's configuration.

Be sure that every user who needs to view attachments has List and View permissions to attachments.

Minimum permissions required to use Attachments

You need permission to at least one Intacct application to add or edit attachments.

Restrict users to a specific attachment folder

Attachment folders cannot be restricted to specific users. If a user has permissions to view attachments and attachment folders, they're able to view all attachments, attachment folders, and attachment subfolders.

That said, you can restrict any Employee user type to their default folder assigned in their employee record. However, Employee user types can only view attachments and attachment folders. If a user needs to add, edit, or delete attachments or attachment folders, they must be a Business type user. Additionally, Business type users cannot be restricted to any single folder.
