When you first add a Web Connector connection, QuickBooks Desktop shows an Application Certificate window. In that window you choose important permissions for the connection – for example whether the application can connect when QuickBooks is closed, which user it should log in as, and whether it can access sensitive information.

This guide explains how to open that same configuration view again so you can change **any** preference for an existing Web Connector connection.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open QuickBooks Desktop" />

  <Step title="Open the company file for the connection you want to modify" />

  <Step title="Sign in as the QuickBooks Admin user" />

  <Step title="Switch to single-user mode">
    If you're currently in multi-user mode, switch to single-user mode by going to "**File**" → "**Switch to Single-user Mode**" in the top menu bar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the Integrated Applications preferences">
    1. Go to "**Edit**" → "**Preferences**" in the top menu bar.
    2. In the Preferences window that appears, navigate to "**Integrated Applications**" in the left sidebar.
    3. Click on the "**Company Preferences**" tab at the top of the window.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the connection's Properties window">
    1. In the list of connections find the row that matches your Web Connector connection.
    2. Select it and click **Properties**.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Change the desired settings">
    The connection **Properties** window is the same window you saw when you intiially added the Web Connector connection. Here you can adjust:

    1. **Access rights** – for unattended syncing we recommend selecting "**Yes, always; allow access even when QuickBooks is not running**".
    2. **Login as** – choose which QuickBooks user the connection will use. (See [Change the QuickBooks Desktop user for a connection](/help/guides/change-qbd-user) for more details.)
    3. **Personal data access** – check or un-check "**Allow this application to access personal data such as Social Security Numbers and customer credit card information**" depending on your needs.
    4. Any other options provided by QuickBooks Desktop or your specific QuickBooks version.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Save your changes">
    1. Click **OK** to close the connection Properties window.
    2. Click **OK** again to close the Preferences window.
  </Step>
</Steps>

That's it! Your QuickBooks Desktop connection will now use the updated settings going forward.
