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, thanks for the interest in this idea.
As you can appreciate, user roles span across the entire Xero product so there’s many combinations of permissions our customers want to see us build. Specifically, our reporting product team is very much aware of the challenges with the current permission sets relating to sharing individual reports with different users and are beginning to look into how we might be able to alleviate some of these reporting challenges.
However, at this stage it’s far too early to anticipate or confirm any direction on where this discovery work will lead, but it will inform our next steps. Additionally, as I'm sure you can appreciate there are sensitivities of data access and security. Creating upgrades to user permissions will need very careful consideration. As most will be across, the reporting team are leading up to retiring older versions of Xero’s reports on 31 July 2023. Once that’s done, they look forward to pointing more attention to reporting user roles and updating this thread with their progress.

It is important that the accounts clerk cannot see the Financial reports. They currently have access to all business expenses, including the Directors Salaries, and the details of other staff members salaries, by just drilling down into the transactions.
This information MUST be protected and secured from minor staff. There needs to be a set up with password, or a category between Invoice and accountant/manager please.
