User Settings

Financio is a multiple user multiple business system. It allows a single user to manage multiple businesses, while also allowing a business to have multiple users with different level of access to the business data.

The user who created the business will be the owner of the business account, who is also granted admin access to the business account. The owner cannot be switched away from Admin.
