is there a different permission for exchange rate Edit on the transaction? I can edit the field as Admin but my Accountant role cannot

You need to give accountant role currency permission.

There is another way to do this if you don't want the accountants to be able to manually update the automatically imported FX rates in the system. You can make the field editable using a workflow on just a selection of transaction types Scope of our workflow is Transaction (Customer Deposit, Customer Payment, Customer Refund, Journal Entry, Vendor Payment) And state 1 does SET FIELD DISPLAY TYPE = NORMAL before record load This still works even if the role has view permission only on Currency.

oo i like that

yeah it's really weird that they aren't two separate permissions, if you ask me

Yeah
