An honest note on permissions
Intuit has no read-only permission
Intuit offers one accounting permission that covers reading and writing. Ziira sends only read queries, but the approval screen will not say "read only". To make it a hard limit, approve while signed in as a QuickBooks user with reports-only or view-only rights: the app cannot exceed that user.
What is read
- Customers, vendors, items, employees and departments (as locations).
- Sales receipts, invoices, credit memos and refund receipts; bills.
- Payments and bill payments, purchases (expenses), journal entries and deposits.
Chart of accounts, inventory adjustments and deleted transactions are not read.
Cost and limits
- Intuit charges apps for reading data above a free monthly allowance, and its tiers change. We confirm current terms before onboarding a business.
- Ziira reads only what changed since the last run.
- Intuit's refresh tokens rotate and expire after about 100 days of non-use; a long-unused connection must be reconnected.
- Deleted records are not seen by incremental reads.
Withdraw access
In QuickBooks open your connected apps and disconnect Ziira. Access stops at once.
