What is the purpose of having a QuickBooks Single-User Mode?

In this answer help full QuickBooks is running in single user mode, any number of users can work on the file, but only one at a time. Let’s look at Charlie the Web Designer. Though Charlie is the main user of his company file, he also has a bookkeeper who comes in once a month and sometimes his mother helps him out by sending out his invoices and keeping his customer information up-to-date. Charlie creates three user accounts for his company file (Company > Users and Passwords), one for each of the people working on the file.

Multiuser mode in QuickBooks.

If QuickBooks is running in multiuser mode, multiple users can access the same company file at the same time from different computers. So Shirley, who owns a construction business, has several people in her office who work in her company file: an office manager who does basic bookkeeping, an accountant, a partner who is a control freak, and herself. In single user mode, this could be a real problem, especially with the control-freak partner who wants to look at the company file at any time and doesn’t care if someone else is using it.
