Having the ability to allow some employees payroll admin access but only for certain employee groups is a must. For example, we payroll both our internal staff and our casual staff. We need one of our internal staff to be able to process payruns for our casual staff but to do so they would then have access to our internal staff's data.

This is not what is needed. A function that allows certain staff payroll admin access to certain employee groups is a must

It would be really helpful if there could be more separation in user permissions.
We have an Admin Team that has the authority to approve leave in our office but does not have the authority to complete other payroll activities - pay runs, view/change pay templates, etc.
Currently Xero does not allow for this separation in permissions so we cannot have this setup correctly in our office

yes, please, we would like to have option that someone could do all the timesheets, leave approval without the access to staff's salary info.

Update, yes please do this urgently. As Lynda below pointed out, it is causing employees stress and concern as they see a list of approvers, don't remember who to select so send it to everyone.

Yes please - this is so annoying

Yes, please do this. My accountant and bookkeeper (Payroll Admins) are getting plagued by timesheet approval requests from staff inadvertently selecting the wrong approver.
Time spent trying to re-educate all the staff that make the mistake is starting to add up in cost and frustration.

Split the Payroll Admin role so you can have staff run payroll and reports - but do not have access to make changes to Salaries etc

Or have it that all changes to key items like Salary has dual approval or alerts sent out to the main user so they can see if any changes have been made without permission

This needs to be addressed urgently. Employees freak out when they see different options for approvers. (e.g. off-site accountants and advisors)

I REALLY don't need to be sent copies of all the timesheets for approval for all my clients, particularly since I can't attest to the employee's timeliness since I'm not there, I'm an offsite advisor.
