User Role - Allow users access to specific reports
Ability to only allow some users to access specific reports.
Purpose: Because in some organisation, only some people can only see the information for some reports.
Hi everyone, we appreciate all the valuable feedback we’ve received from everyone on this idea and through research our team has conducted.
We’ve taken this all into serious consideration as we plan improvements for the large scope of roles that we know are critical to our customers being able to effectively run their businesses with Xero.
We totally get the need for more granular roles and control within reports, and understand the need to safeguard sensitive data while still empowering your team and clients with the information they require.
Although not accessible within Xero, there are some role capabilities through Syft Analytics as an additional offering where a Xero organisation can connect to Syft.
We want you to know that reporting is one of the primary areas that we’re looking to develop, and are working on a solution that’ll give you more flexibility and control over what reports your users have access to within an org.
As work progresses we’ll be happy to return with more solid updates for you all here.

Pleeeeease Xero - can you do something about this. I am starting to lose clients to MYOB because they have a better user security system. Thats the only reason they are changing. There needs to be the facility to tick a box for payables or receivables reports within the managed user category.
They need access without seeing all the management and financial reports. -

It is imperative that Users entering payments for customer and suppliers have access to the very least an ageing analysis report to be able to chase any that are falling due soon or overdue.
I don't see why giving access to this report for those on the invoice only role is a problem. They are only viewing the information that they have entered and processed in Xero anyway. There is no need for bank account access for this one.

How many votes do we need to get this addressed? As Terry said, it looks like they have left the building!

We need some users to have access to reports only (including budget checking).

Bookkeeper as an employee needs to have an access to certain information in Report such as Aged Payable to be able to check and pay the bill, but should not be given full access to all the report such as profit and loss as only the business owner have full access to these type of financial information. The employee should only have an access to the information that they need. At the moment, they either have a full access or non which make the work a bit difficult. is there any way to do it?

This is important so different users within a company and firm that are having to enter AR/AP can view the relevant AR/AP reports without having access to all the other financial reports. Should be an option in the Users screen to give them access to AR/AP reports only.

Very frustrating that there is no reply from Xero on any of this? Is this worked on?
How high on the to-do list? -

Needed so employees can access reports they require for their role but not other sensitive information

We have a new Finance Manager joining our organisation next week and I will be creating a new Xero user account for him. However, I don't want him to see the details of our Salary and wages COA. We should have the option to restrict certain COAs to certain people due to confidential purposes. The overall figure can still be seen in reports for certain people but the details should be viewable by the one who has the most authority in xero system.

Would be great to have this available within Xero so we can grant access to certain reports which fit with the role of the staff member.

This is critical as we want to give teams access to monitor expenditure and budgets for their allocated area, without giving access to potentially sensitive information in the bank or payroll general ledgers. I'm struggling to find an app to connect to Xero that will do this, but would prefer it to be in Xero itself. With your focus currently on reporting, is this an opportune time to address this?

Can I ask how high on the to-do list this is? Is this worked on already or years away?

Being able to enable users with invoice-only permissions e.g. ledger clerks to be able to view receivables and payables reports. It seems ridiculous that you can only provide access to all reports i.e. the bank reports etc which stops a number of ledger clerks from being able to view a large portion of their role effectively due to permissions restrictions.

Very important to my organisation. Each budget holder/Snr manager should only be able to see their own area's budget and P&L. Also for Invoice Only role should be able to view some of the reports as well. Please work on this request !
