Permissions: Payroll - Payroll admin limited access
Ability to give payroll admins only permission to staff.
Purpose: To make the staff have fully access to Payroll but not other parts of Xero.
141 votesThanks for continuing to explain how the current all or nothing Payroll Admin access affects your teams. We’re now developing more granular payroll permissions, starting with separate View, Edit and Approve Timesheets access so timesheet tasks can be delegated without exposing the wider payroll area.
While the current work is focused on Timesheets access directly we recognise there are other sensitive areas within payroll that you'd like more incremental access to and we'll continue to consider these as our development of permissions evolves.
I'll come back to share when these Timesheets options are live!

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 Roles & Permissions - Ability to suspend users
It should be possible to suspend users without deleting them. This should cut off all accesses but should preserve the account /username itself. This is a basic functionality of user access control which is surprisingly absent from Xero. This preserves the user ID incase someone suddenly leaves the company or is suspended from duties for whichever reason.

Xero Me - Payroll Authorisers to NOT include advisers
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.37 votesThanks for your patience; it’s been a little while since you first raised this idea. I wanted to point you toward a similar request regarding granular payroll permissions: [Permissions: Payroll - Payroll admin limited access].
It’s clear that having precise control over who can access specific payroll areas would significantly improve how you manage timesheets and leave approvals.
To help your idea gain traction, please share it with colleagues so they can vote for it too. The comment section is also open for all members to share how this feature would improve their Xero experience.

Payroll: User Roles - Options to give permission to approve/decline leave and read only Payroll reports.
Ability to have more flexible permission in Xero Payroll, especially for read only Payroll reports and to give other users permission to approve/decline leave requests.
Purpose: To have more options and flexibility in assigning users to Xero Payroll.
151 votesHi Community! Thanks for your active and on-going participation in this idea. The volume of comments and votes highlights how important more granular user permissions are for managing your payroll processes effectively.
Improving user permissions and providing greater control over sensitive data is a key area of focus for us. While we have no specific feature to announce today, your feedback is critical in shaping the future of this part of Xero.
Because of the clear need you've all highlighted and our desire to investigate this further, we're moving this idea's status to In Discovery.
During the discovery phase, our product team will be digging deeper into the core problems you’ve raised.
We appreciate your patience as we explore this. We'll be sure to update this thread when we have more to share. Thank you again for helping us understand what matters most to you.

User roles: Restrict access to Invoice Settings
For internal control reasons the 'invoice settings' section should be only accessible for certain access types. Anyone with Xero access (excl read only) can go and adjust the bank account manually entered on the invoices sent to customers.
It would be great to have this locked the same way bank account admin is for supplier payments.

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.
29 votesHi everyone, we appreciate wanting more control of which users have access to manual journals.
As you may have seen we've recently released new reporting permissions so you can grant access to Sales Reports or Purchase Reports only, without opening the full Reporting Centre.
At this stage we don't have plans for developing an incremental permission for Manual Journals, however we're continuing to keep a close eye on ideas in the these forums as our permissions journey evolves. I'll be sure to update if there's any news.

User Permissions - History recorded of role changes and ability to add description
There is currently no record of changes to User registrations in the xero file. This is a failure of audit processes.
A description for each user would be handy to identify the role of each person within the Organisation.
A start and End date would allow for Temporary access arrangements.60 votesHi team, we appreciate the interest in this idea and how having a record of changes to a users permissions would be helpful as an audit in your Xero organisation.
While this history event isn't in our immediate plans, we are closely considering how and what changes we record history for as we continue to develop parts of Xero.
For the time being we are continuing to keep a watchful eye on the support in this here, and I will make sure to share if there is any news of this for you all here.

Permission - Ability to choose either or both Sales, PO, quotes and Invoice for Invoice Only user
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.
50 votesHi everyone, we value the detail you've shared about why you need to combine Sales, Quotes, Invoices and Purchase Orders access without also exposing banking or bills.
We’re currently building a dedicated Purchase Orders Only role with options to view, create, edit and approve purchase order that'll help for those that have asked to enable users to raise and manage purchase orders while keeping them separate from broader Purchases access and sensitive bill information.
We recognise this is one part of the wider role flexibility you’re asking for, and we’ll continue to consider how Sales, Quotes and Invoices can be separated in future.
I'l come back to share once the Purchase order permission is fully released.

User Role | Invoice Only Users: Ability to remove and amend invoice amounts
Hi Xero.
Currently, User's with Invoice Only Access can only approve invoices and bills. However they are unable to remove a payment (or part thereof) from an invoice.
This is a problem if the User accepts a payment, then realises that there is an error on the invoice, as they are then unable to remove the amount and fix the invoice.
It would be great if these User's could have this ability without having access to the business bank accounts20 votes -
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.

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.
26 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.

NZ Payroll - Allow timesheet approval for employees with authority
For employees who use Xero My Payroll, if you are a Payroll Admin user, you can grant employees authority to approve leave. The option for Timesheet approval should also be there, it is available in other countries but not NZ.
54 votesHi community, we're pleased to share that we’re now developing more granular payroll permissions for Timesheets that'll allow you to give employee's appropriate access without full access to other sensitive payroll information.
Your feedback has been really useful to our teams understanding and planning of permissions development across Xero payroll.
I'll be back to let you know as these permissions roll out and how you can set your users up with the access they need.

User Roles - Ability to assign default tracking options per user
Right now it’s not possible to have users automatically assigned to tracking categories.
We are investigating the tracking scenario, but it looks like additional work having to go into making sure each user remembers to add the relevant codes/tracking categories each time they raise a new quote/invoice/PO.
Is there a way to set this up so that Xero can automatically identify that a user belongs to a particular department (e.g. Sales / Accounts ) and the relevant tracking codes will be applied? Similar to how when we set up a new contact on Xero with particular defaults (re. currency or…

User role permission: Invoice Only Purchases - Assign user to see bills paid
Currently, it’s not possible to assign a invoice only-Purchases (orders and bills) user permission and not be able to see bills paid or to have the Invoice Only create drafts user role and see purchase orders approved by other users. Can you include this option in Xero?

Quotes - Approval process similar to invoices

User Permission - Separate approver roles for both Invoices and Bills
When raising client invoices, it would be good to be able to submit the invoice to a Manager for approval.
When processing supplier bills, it would be good to be able to submit the bill to a Manager for approval of payment of that expense.
In both cases, this would mean that approval details of "who" and "when" would be noted in the History of the invoice/bill without needing to attach a file showing the approval or tracking this outside of the system.
Ideally keeping the Approval role completely separate to the ability to edit the invoice/bill as well as…34 votes -
User Role: Invoice Only - Ability to add tick box options for setting up a new invoice only user
We need to give a user the 'Invoice only (sales)' permissions but do not want them to view invoices created by other users or ANY sales figures such as 'total awaiting payment' or 'total overdue'.
It would be incredibly useful to have tick box options for main permissions when setting up a new Invoice Only user. These permissions should include:
- View sales totals
- Approve invoices
- View invoices created by other users
- View Invoices awaiting payment tab37 votes
