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.
25 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 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…

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.
51 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback on allowing authorised employees to approve timesheets. We appreciate you sharing how having managers approve timesheets without full payroll access could help streamline processes.
Our product team is currently exploring more granular permission levels in payroll, so we’ve moved the idea to Accepted.
Although this isn't currently on the roadmap, we'll keep you updated as things progress. Thanks for your continued input.

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?

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 tab36 votes -
User role | Invoice Only - Send receipt for payment
As the Standard user role is required to send a customer receipts for invoice payments or receive money transactions (https://central.xero.com/s/article/Send-a-receipt-to-a-customer), clerical staff assigned this role can view all bank account balances. As most business owners would prefer that bank balances remain confidential, adding the ability to generate customer receipts to the Invoices Only role would alleviate this concern.

User Access - Restrict Invoice only role to Customer list
There is a role setup for Invoices Only (Purchases). This is useful if you want to have a User process Accounts Payable Invoices, but without providing access to Sales Invoices.
However, if you login with this role, you can see 'All Contacts' as well as the list of all 'Customers' and the billing amounts outstanding. Surely this is inappropriate if the role is for Invoices Only (Purchases)?
The suggestion is that a user with the role 'Invoices Only (Purchases) can see Supplier contacts, but cannot view Customer contacts (which is really what most people would expect if this role is…

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…30 votes -

User Role: Restrict access to Projects
Only allow people with limited access to Projects to see their own hours/project, not the total hours billed to any project. The total hours are really none of their business.

User Role: Ability to only create drafts + view reports
Can we have one more category of user role in Xero (A user role with Ability for only to create all possible drafts + View reports)?
This kind of user role can help to minimise recording errors when any transaction (Quotation, Invoice, Bill, expenses, transfer, receive and spend money) can have two steps approval. It can provide more verification flexibility /security for the business which managed by more than one person as well.
View reports can help the initiator to check the effect of the transaction after approval.
We are looking for your kind consideration.
Thank you

Ability to specify which user has access to the lock dates.

User Roles - Invoice Only: Ability to see balances of supplier accounts
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…

User Role - Invoice Only + View Reports
Ability to assign a user where they can only have Invoice only and view only reports.
Purpose: To make user permission easier to set up, rather than having to upgrade them into Standard. As this will allow a user having access to more confidential reports.
