Hello everyone, I think I know the answer, but just to double check - Is there a way to close the accounting periods for everyone except one person/role? I think it's not possible, but just wanted to confirm. Basically, they keep the books open for everyone till Day 3 of the month. They stop all transactions on Day 4 where one person does all the consolidation and adjustments. Is there a way to achieve this? Can a workflow (for accounting period) help? Thanks!

Doing the actual close is run from a task record. So you may be able to block the saving of those task records for all but select users.

This is done by locking the period and giving just this person the Override Period Restrictions permission

Awesome! Thanks!
