History & Notes - Login - Timestamps for login history
Audit trail of logins to Xero - there seems to be a series of different visual aids and short screen reports showing when a user last logged in, however from an audit perspective, it would be ideal to have a report that can be run for set periods showing when users have logged in. The information to run this type of report is there from the History and Notes report and the Assurance Dashboard. However a report that shows a time/date stamp would be ideal as evidence in cases of fraud/performance management

User Roles: Restrict access to manual journals
It would be useful if it were possible to restrict the posting of journal entries to specific users.
25 votesHi Margaret, thanks for raising your idea here.
Just want to add that it's only possible for adviser or standard + reports roles to view, edit or post Manual Journals.
Does that change your idea here at all?

User Role: More options for access rights
More granular level for user access rights
I have seen lots of ideas around this same topic but worded slightly differently.
Essentially, the access rights are far too high level causing users to have access to tasks and rights to delete, approve when they shouldn't
25 votesAppreciate your looking through the forums and existing ideas, Tracy.
Although it might seem quite specific it does help to have detail of the specific permission sets and what is missing in the existing roles shared for each idea, and get a sense of the users that are interested in these differing permissions.
As you can likely imagine, with the number of features and different roles & responsibilities staff may have across businesses a matrices of options for every single permissions across every feature in Xero would be quite complex and cumbersome when trying to assign what a user can or can't do in your organisation.
While we don't have direct plans for this level of incremental control, our product teams are definitely interested to consider the makeup of permissions within a given area or feature of Xero. I'd urge you and others here to add your support to…

Xero Files - Ability for Read Only users to access Xero Files
We would like our auditors / account reviewers to have Read Only access to our accounts in Xero however this does not enable them to view Xero Files, which is where we save our bank statements, etc.
Currently we need to give them Standard Access so that they can have access to the documents in Files, however this also gives them the ability to change the accounts as well.
We would like to suggest the Xero files be added to users with Read Only access.
Thanks,

User Role: Ability for standard users to have access to Uncoded Statement Lines
I would like to recommend that standard access users be able to access a very handy "uncoded statement transaction report" that at this point is only available to the advisers role (usually accountants). I am told for advisers it appears on the front page of bank reconciliation. If it wasn't for chatting to an accountant one day about typing out lists to my clients I wouldn't know about it. I guess you don't know what you don't know. This is an extremely helpful tool when trying to send lists to bookkeeping clients / business partners or employee's when you are…

User role permissions - Control and restrict access to chart of accounts
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.
23 votesHi 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.

User Role - Allow Invoice only (draft) users to print approved invoices and their packing slips
Users that can create draft invoices should also be able to print off pdf's and packing slips of approved invoices

Permissions - Auditor roles that allows read only access to everything
We're auditors and some of our clients are having issues around providing consistent access to everything as they don't want us to have read-write access, and we don't want that either. What we'd like is a user class for auditors/regulators which is read only and allows access to everything.

Xero log in - Choose default organisation
Set the demo company as the first company seen on log-in, or be able to set which one you want to see.
I often use my laptop when speaking with clients and for a split second after logging-in I am on another clients business dashboard until I can grab the mouse and change it to their business. I don't think this is good business practice.

User Permissions | Projects - Read only access to Bills & Invoices of a project
We have assigned users to specific projects but in order for them to see the invoices and bills against this project the settings must be changed so that they can access all bills, invoices and contacts to amend.
I would like a feature so that someone assigned to the project can have read only access to the invoices and bills ONLY associated with this project. Allowing them to still run reports and view profitability on their project but they cannot amend invoices and bills or cannot access others that are not their projects.

Permissions - Give Invoice Only users access to Send/Print for approved invoices
Invoice Only User SHOULD have access to "send and print" feature once the Purchase Order were approved. To address this concern, a user should have an access level of Invoice Only + Purchases, however, changing the permission to this level, the inputs made by other users, which might be confidential and unnecessarily to be seen by others, are compromised. I would like to request to add this feature (send and print) for the Invoice Only users.
17 votesWe appreciate you taking the time to share and support this idea. We can see that this idea is already gaining traction amongst the community. Giving Invoice Only users the ability to send or print approved invoices has the potential to simplify your workflow and make day-to-day tasks more efficient.
Enabling this functionality would allow the same users who create and approve invoices to also send or print them, reducing handovers and helping your business operate more smoothly. It’s a great example of how a small change can lead to better team autonomy.
Currently, this action is available to users with Standard, Advisor, or Invoice Only – Approve & Pay roles. Expanding this to other Invoice Only roles, such as Draft, Sales, or Purchases could make Xero even more flexible for teams with clearly defined responsibilities.
We’ve moved this idea into the Gaining Support stage. It’s now open for voting…

Log into more than one company
It would be really useful to be able to log into more than one company on an reference basis only. I'm often in the middle of something when I am asked a question relating to another company by a colleague or client. I have to log out just to find one bit of information. I might have multiple windows open with different reports etc that I then lose. This is also very important when working on related companies to see intercompany loans in both companies at once. I can see why it would be a problem to post changes to…
17 votesHi Cath, when you say you have to log out and then into the other org, are you using 2 separate Xero account logins?
Appreciate not the ideal solution but you could use incognito mode atm, to open the organisation you need to reference?

Expenses - Ability to search and sort for submitter user
Expenses search and sort.
If you only have access as a user and not full access to the accounts, searching past expenses is a painful experience.
What a painful thing searching for expenses in Xero is.
Can't filter by date range, or search for a particular description, or search by account. And they're in some unfathomable order which you can't sort by date.
Suggestions: Sort by date option to help answer questions like 'did I remember to file that expense 3 months ago'
Filter on date range: 'Show only expenses between January and March last year'.
Search on description: List…

MFA | Role that can enable another user to reset multi factor authentication
Have a designated advisor / subscriber have the ability to remove multi factor authentication from a user so that a new method can be set up by the user.
Purpose: For those businesses that have operators which are not tech savy, having either the subscriber or the advisor who holds a professional membership / qualification, who have passed ID verification processes, let the designated person have the ability to toggle off multi factor authentication so that the user and re set up their authentication process so that when their phone is lost or stolen and their alternative entry points don't…

MFA | Remove requirement to use
Get rid of this stupid MFA on EVERY sign in.
It used to be monthly which was bad enough, now it is a constant pain having to use an authentication device just to get access to Xero. MFA is a complete waste of user time. My bank doesn't use it and I trust them not to lose my money, so why does accounting software need it?
If the ATO insists on it with their stupid STP, then link it to STP and nothing else.13 votesHi everyone, we appreciate your feedback about multi-factor authentication, and this has been shared with our teams internally. Security and protecting your data is highly important to us and we want to be upfront that we don't have any plans for removing the requirements for logging into Xero with multi-factor authentication.
That said, we're continuing to improve the experience and offering more ways to verify your identity when logging into Xero.

User Roles - Full remittance advice access for Invoice Only Approve and Pay user
For the 'approve and pay' user the remittance function is limited. They should have the functionality to send remittances on a batch payment and also be able to access the remittance button at a later date. An admin member of staff needs access to the full remittance capability in order to complete their duties fully.

Permissions - Ability to set level of Approvals for different transactions
Hierarchy of approvals of bills and Purchase orders
eg Invoices over £1000 go to tom to approve
11 votesWe appreciate the feedback and interest in being able to set different levels of approval across different transaction types in Xero atm. Currently the draft permission will enable a user to create draft transactions in an org with out the ability to approve, while the Sales Invoice Only role will enable a user to create and approve invoices or quotes without access to purchases, and similarly the Invoice Only Purchases role will allow a user to create and approve Purchase transactions without access to Sales.
To better understand the ask in this idea can you share exactly the type of set up you would be looking to achieve to help with entering information in your organisation.

MFA: Remember 'Trust this device' setting after 24 hours
I understand the ATO requires you to enter 2FA daily, but that doesn't mean the tickbox should uncheck itself every day.
If I tick trust this device on Monday and login using 2FA, I can then login without 2FA for 24 hours.
After that 24 hours, I need to login using 2FA again AND I have to tick the trust this device box again to get another 24 hour reprieve.
Let us tick the box or another box that will remember our choice ongoing. So each day I only have to login using 2FA again but my choice to trust…
