  1. There are users who need access to custom projects reports but no others. Currently they either have to repeatedly customise the base reports or have access to all the reports.

  3. An employee is in charge of paying our foreign supplier accounts. So we gave him the role "Invoice only (Approve and Pay). Unfortunately, he is not able to see a full statement of the supplier account with all invoices, credit notes and payments made so he does not know how much is owed. He is also unable to enter payments against a supplier without an invoice already existing in Xero, which is an issue when making payments to suppliers who require payment in advance. We cannot grant him full access to see bank details because if we did he would…

  4. Hi,

    I would like if Xero can provide an invoice user view only to look at the overdue invoices.

    This idea came up because we have a requirement to give this access to the person we hired for invoice chasing.

    We do not need to let him see previous invoices or give him access to create new invoices.
    Just a view with pending invoices payments for sent invoices

  5. Please adjust the Leave Authorisers in Xero Me to be the employees in the business with Payroll Admin &/or the Authority to Approve Leave.
    Currently all user with PAyroll Admin are available for selection - which includes ALL advisors.
    As an accountant - we are having to revoke our access to a client's payroll to ensure that the staff in the client's business cannot select the accountant's staff members to approve their leave.

  7. We use Xero for our Bookkeeping business & would like to invite clients to view only the information pertaining to their individual business records. Right now, anyone who logs in can see every other client’s information, as well as their own.

    Hi team, rounding back to this idea here it appears there are a few different use cases being raised around permissions.

    From the sounds some would like to restrict access to for users to specific contact records, and we have an idea for this here that I'd recommend joining.

    For those that would like to restrict access to specific reports we have another idea around this we'd recommend joining.

    I'll adapt the title of this idea for those that'd like to restrict access to specific chart of accounts.

    We appreciate interest in each and you're welcome to join each idea you'd like to see development for, and we'll share any updates on each idea respectively.

  8. Allow Xero users permission to authorise employee timesheets. At the moment only the payroll administrator or specific employee has the ability to do this. Payroll permissions under settings/users should be expanded to be more granular, with an option to allow users permission to authorise timesheets. Alternatively, under the employee details in Payroll, an option to select authorised Xero users whom may sign off timesheets for that user.

    Hi everyone, thanks for your feedback on the ability for employees to approve timesheets.

    Payroll is definitely an area we know needs more permission controls. This is something our product teams are beginning to explore and do deeper research of.

    We'll keep you updated as our team progresses through the discovery work.

  9. Change the permissions required to connect apps, most importantly the Pipedrive app. Since currently Pipedrive users (sales people) are required to have full access to Xero in order to connect and use the integration. We can't give our sales team full access to our accounts due to sensitive transaction details and salaries contained in Xero as you would expect.

    Thanks for sharing with us here, everyone. We appreciate why you'd like simpler methods to improve efficiency when logging in to use Xero. 

    Our product team have started some work to enable logging into Xero using passkeys. As mentioned in some of your comments, this'll support Yubikeys by default.

    For now, we'll move this idea to Under review and I'll come back to keep you updated on the latest news for this feature.

  11. Have the option to set your Preference to logging in to 'My Xero' instead of Xero HQ or Lsat Client you were in.

    Thanks for your engagement and letting us know the changes that matter to you, Bailey.

    We've reviewed your idea again and I've slightly updated the title so this is clearer to others members on the site. We'll continue to track the interest your idea receives here, however there are no plans to change these preferences at present.

  12. Can the items per page be made an updateable default on all tabs? i.e. remember my setting until I change it again. So, on the contacts page I'd like to select 200 per page and have Xero remember that preference until I change it again.

  13. I have clients whose bookkeeper does the payroll and also processes accounts payable/receivable invoices. Currently we can't have submit/draft only invoice access AND payroll access. This means that if they want to do payroll, they also get access to approval of invoices. Can we please create a user role where draft/payroll access is combined?

  14. When a person has more than 5 organizations in their portfolio the 'Change of Organization' drop down list only shows the most recent 5 used. It would be helpful if ALL your organizations showed on screen to choose from. Or of course, having the option to reduce to the 5 normal.

    Hi 👋 everyone, we appreciate all the feedback. We understand if you're in and out of many different client orgs each day why you'd like to be able to increase this drop down.


    We're keeping a close eye on the interest for this here and will share if there are any plans made.

  16. Dashboard - Ability to change the columns from the standard two to three or four.

    This would give me more flexibility to see all the data in one place without having to scroll down to see all our accounts.

    Hi all, we appreciate feedback we've received about improvements we could make to the Dashboard that'd better serve your needs. You may've heard that we have a new Homepage that'll replace the Dashboard and will be released to all customers over the next few months.

    With updated technology the new Homepage is much more responsive and will adapt based on your device, screen size and zoom functions to show a maximum of 4 widgets side-by-side. 😊

    I'll keep you looped in on when this is available to everyone, but in the meantime if you'd like to try it out jump into the demo company!

  17. As an Xero customer, I would like to be able to add Instagram as a contact field within organisation details, so that I can easily direct customers to my Instagram page.

    Instagram is becoming more popular than facebook, twitter and websites for certain industries.

  18. Invoice only user role that allows you to pick and choose either or both Sales and Purchase orders. quotes and invoices. At the moment you can only have Sales or Purchase IO otherwise you have to make standard user which is not helpful.

  20. Even though the above feature in XERO has great potential for add on value services to clients, example, 90 days cash flow projections, I am very surprised that no one asked, why cant we produce a report in PDF or Excel??? Isn't this an essential part of a report?

    Thank you all for your engagement with this idea to enable export options for the Short-Term Cash Flow projection in Xero Analytics Plus. We recognise that the STCF report is a useful tool for many of you and that exporting would allow you to share this report which is important in a number of different scenarios.

    It is worth noting that for users accessing Xero Analytics powered by Syft, the cash flow report can be exported in a variety of formats. If you haven’t checked this out yet, you can find more information here - Xero Analytics powered by Syft

    After carefully reviewing the current development roadmap, we have determined that this request will not be addressed in the immediate future. Therefore, we are changing the status of this idea to Not in the pipeline. However, the idea will remain open for votes so we can continue to monitor community…
