  1. Individuals with the ability to manage users should be able to change and update email addresses for users rather than having to delete the user and add again.

  2. Provide a standard setup for non-profits complete with all the correct reporting and terminology. In the age of AI this should be standard option for end users.

  3. It would be great to be able to select/deselect more options under each role if the role isn't quite right.

    E.g. I need a user to be able to view all the previous invoices and create new ones but not be able to approve invoices. Neither Sales nor Draft sales roles offer this option.

  4. When coding expenditure, my farmlands account has a month's expenditure and some transactions need splitting into business or personal. So entering details for a single bill can take an hour. There is no saving of data entered if I get disconnected from the internet although many people have apparently requested this. It was suggested I enter data offline in the Xero app, then synch it when going online, but i cannot do this because there is no option of 'none' in the tracking categories. Is it possible to reconcile a transaction then edit it later? I like Xero because it…

  5. Currently when you grant a user the ability to draft sales and purchases, this comes with the ability for that user to access the notes & history for all contacts. This contains sensitive financial information associated with that contact.

    It would be useful to add in to Settings > Users > Permissions to be able to restrict access to contact notes & history as an option across all user permissions.

  6. An emaill notification of a new user being added to the file plus a history of who added someone the file should be set up as a security to the those who manager users. This audit trail is important to the security of the files and a good backup check.

  7. 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…

    Hi 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?

  8. It is remarkably convoluted to change the base currency even when no transactions have been posted. It only seems to be possible by cancelling the subscription and starting again. I rely on clients purchasing the software and it is not unknown for them to enter an incorrect base currency. I have used other systems where changing the base currency is very quick and easy. I suggest you make this a little easier.

  9. Add the ability for Managers to approve bank account details for contacts. Ie the Bookkeeper can enter in & change the suppliers bank account details in Xero, but the manager can then go an approve it.

  10. 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.

  11. Could the Accounts Watchlist feature have an option to have user specific watchlists? The accounts I want to pay close attention to as Head of Finance is different to what the Finance Assistant wants to see. Not all accounts are organisation wide specific.

  12. As part of our QA, we review the list of users to check that it is up to date, eg, remove terminated employees, remove auditors at the completion of the audit or revert to Read Only, etc.

    It would be great to be able to filter/sort the view by access type, such as looking only at Payroll Employees, or filtering them out.

  13. Would like to be able to add users with only access to invoicing, without them seeing any other part of Xero. This would be a huge benefit so I can have team members invoice customers without seeing company financials.

  14. Ability to cc and bcc when sending emails from xero.

    This would be very useful as we have many clients that like to have various other people copied in.

    Hi community, we value your engagement in product ideas here. As you may have seen we've recently rolled out a new send experience in new invoicing. 

    With this new side-by-side view you'll find you can also CC and BCC other emails 🎉

    While this feature is contained to new invoicing atm, we'll look at applying a similar experience to other areas of Xero that you can send from in the future, so we'll keep you updated of any further developments for this here. Thanks!

  15. When I am logged-in to Xero as a user with "Invoice only" and "only create drafts" permissions, it is my understanding that this user should not be able to create new invoice items or see menu options for creating new items. However, it appears this user can see this menu option when adding a line item to an invoice and attempt to create a new item, leading to an ambiguous error message.

    Expected Behavior:
    User with "Invoice only" and "only create drafts" permissions does not see and cannot select any menu options for creating a new item that can be…

  16. List prepayments separately from "Awaiting payment" report in Dashboard.
    At the moment, prepayments are lumped together with "Awaiting payment" reports in Dashboard. This gives a wrong view of the actual number of invoices that are awaiting payment. Please list prepayments separately on a different line.

  19. It would be nice if My Xero could allow sorting by the number of unreconciled transactions. Being able to sort by the number of comments would be nice too

    Hi Christine, just making sure I understand what you'd like to see here. Would this be to sort all organisations you have access to from your My Xero page ordered by the # of unreconciled items ?
