You can access admin on one device and all other will become users automatically. 

Users have almost all rights except Edit and Delete.

Why Only One Admin?

Let's look at a scenario:

PC1 is offline and has created INV33 worth Rs.100000

mobile now comes online, and creates INV33 because it doesn’t know INV33 has been created, because that PC1 is offline, right?
Now, mobile creates INV33 worth 20000 and INV34 worth 45000

and goes back to PC1 and it becomes online, but mobile was online it has already overwritten INV33 and INV34

Book Keeper takes care of this by making one device admin and other user

So, one device will be admin and all other will become users.

How to Change Admin Device? 

• If you have old admin device with you

1. In your admin device, Go to Settings > Company Settings

2. Under Password tab, untick the option This is my Admin Device  

   

3. Wait for 5 minutes, let it sync on all devices.

4. Now wherever you will open this company, that device will become Admin.

• If you don't know which device is admin

  Just click on User icon on top right on your computer, a window will open and it will show you which is your admin device.
