Which type of user is authorized to add a journal entry in the system?

A business user is typically authorized to add a journal entry in Sage Intacct. This role is directly involved in the day-to-day operations of the organization and often handles transaction entries, including journal entries, to ensure accurate financial records. Business users have the necessary training and access within the system to input financial data, reflecting the organization's transactions accurately.

While administrators generally have broader control over the system's configurations and user access, their primary role is not to manage day-to-day operational entries. Financial analysts focus on analyzing and interpreting financial data rather than creating individual entries. Compliance officers are responsible for ensuring that the organization's activities adhere to regulations and do not typically engage in the direct entry of financial transactions. Therefore, the correct answer points to the role that aligns most closely with the operational responsibilities associated with adding journal entries.
