User Role - Restrict access to individual bank accounts
To have the ability limit some users to access some bank accounts within Xero org.
Purpose: To limit some staff to not be able to see the information about the client’s bank balance.
We appreciate everyone that's contributed here. Needs in more incremental permissions for bank accounts, have been clearly highlighted in your feedback - from protecting the confidentiality of payroll information to securely delegating reconciliation tasks for specific accounts.
Leaning in from our last update, our product teams have conducted lots of research of existing user roles, to highlight the most critical areas work is needed to power up our customers use of Xero.
Reporting and inventory are our first areas of priority, and you may have seen recent updates across ideas for these areas.
Permissions to bank accounts is another area that stood out in our research, but has more dependencies and will take longer to develop.
We'll keep you updated as our journey with roles and permissions evolve and there's more in the space of banking to share with you all.

When I submitted a case recently I was told that the status for this idea is 'Submitted' which indicates that this feature is 'on our radar, but we have not started working on it yet.'
I was also told to continue keeping an eye on this thread for any future updates on this request, which I think is fairly ironic given that I don't see one single response or update from a Xero staff member on this thread.

Has Xero ever commented if there any plans/timeframes on implementing this or provided details as to why it has not been?
All seems a bit of a pointless exercise to vote and comment with zero feedback from Xero (pun intended)

Thank you Ian for placing an effort to get everyone involve and hopefully get to someone in Xero who would put this in action! We have to put projects on hold because we simply can't have staff have access to all the bank accounts.
Vote to help bring this to Xero's attention, thank you everyone!!

If I could vote 1000 times I would. I have brought this up with my partner manager on numerous occasions but still nothing - it is a critical issue and and would seem such a simple fix so please vote even if this would be merely useful to you. 159 votes I believe is way short of how many find this critical.

This tool is critical and may I ask that everyone submit your vote so the Xero team would treat this seriously. 159 voted doesn't justify the important in this. Xero team is not helpful but let's get our vote up to make them understand how important this tool is to their clients. Thank you!

I have a staff member that needs to enter all the invoices on but I cannot give access as bank accounts are visible with payments to other staff etc. This is something that really needs attention.

I have clients that don't want their salary bank and transaction available to all their staff, so this is critical!

This is critical for us and seems like a such a simple thing to implement. Not having this feature is limiting us to delegating work within our organisation and hence creating more work for those already under pressure. Surely this should be a standard feature.

It's very critical for clients, as they want to limit their staff in accessing the bank account of their company.
It is causing issues to our client in getting work done by their staff.

Give access to files to process bills but without having full access / bank account exposure
The invoice only option shows files available but this is only on a transaction not from the files area.

Yes, this is essential. Please add this feature asap.

Is there any update on this? Is this being worked on?
It seems like such a simple feature to implement - makes no sense as to why this feature isn't available yet!

It would be useful to allow access to bank accounts per user so that they can add their own credit card payments and not see other accounts or post payments to the wrong account

I don't understand the "submitted Mar2022" when you can see it has been a topic of discussion with Xero from Nov2013!!
Come on guys its now coming to 10 years!!

It's pretty basic and extremely deficient of Xero to have ignored this request for more than 5 year.
Care factor by Xero is Zero !!! -

Business owners should be able to restrict access to confidential information by staff. This feature is critical.

I have had a reply from Xero, pretty generic but the more of us that vote and raise it it will get some traction.
Thanks for getting in touch with your query.
As you’ve found, right now it’s not possible to stipulate certain users only have access to certain bank accounts within the organisation and giving a user permission to view bank accounts will give them access to all bank accounts in the Xero organisation.
This is a request that has been raised with us and I've found the thread you've mentioned in our Xero Product Ideas.
We do receive large volumes of wide ranging requests from our customers, which are all regularly reviewed, analysed and prioritised by our product team. I encourage you to vote and leave feedback on the product idea as comments are read by the appropriate team here at Xero.
