    Appreciate the idea here - Being transparent, developing granular permissions or roles for every feature and action throughout Xero is not in our plans. 


    Understanding more of the permission sets majority of users need, will help understand where the biggest impact could be made. 

    I've slightly adjusted the title to suit the needs of the role you mentioned. We'll get a sense of others that'd like this too.

    Hi community, thank you for your engagement and sharing how you'd like us to evolve roles for customers using Xero. User roles impact all areas of the product, there are many considerations we must factor in when assessing how to solve for majority of our customers needs - As you can see there is a large range of ideas for different roles shared by customers in Product Ideas.
    We’re conducting research on the current landscape and how we might approach some of the most predominant needs in roles for our customers. To be upfront, the discovery of this work will be long running and there'll be multiple phases of research and forms of engagement with users that’ll help shape the path ahead in this space.
    We’d like to invite you, our community to be part of this research and discovery. This may involve interviews and sharing further feedback through direct…

    Hi everyone, as another step toward improving history of new invoicing you'll find you'll now see an entry when an invoice is sent, and the email address it has been sent to. 

    We appreciate this is something we've heard a fair amount of feedback on and we hope helps in your journey to using new invoicing. 

    We still have more enhancements on the way for history and I'll be back again when more updates land.

    Hi everyone, we appreciate all the valuable feedback we’ve received from everyone on this idea and through research our team has conducted.

    We’ve taken this all into serious consideration as we plan improvements for the large scope of roles that we know are critical to our customers being able to effectively run their businesses with Xero.

    We totally get the need for more granular roles and control within reports, and understand the need to safeguard sensitive data while still empowering your team and clients with the information they require.

    Although not accessible within Xero, there are some role capabilities through Syft Analytics as an additional offering where a Xero organisation can connect to Syft.

    We want you to know that reporting is one of the primary areas that we’re looking to develop, and are working on a solution that’ll give you more flexibility and control over what reports your users…

    HI Everyone, I have been in touch with Xero admin today, and they advise that this is a feature that they WILL NOT be looking at, anytime soon, nor in the future. So if we want user security, we will need to change to another accounting package. Xero was only ever developed for small family or one man band businesses, and is not capable of changing or growing to meet business growth requirements. This is really disappointing, I submitted this discussion 7 years ago, and they still refuse to look at a solution.

    HI Everyone, I posted this 7 years ago, and there was little followup from other users. Xero looks at these, and takes the ideas that have the most votes to see if something can be done, so the more votes we get, the better.
    I think as businesses are growing, it has become a problem with internal security that Xero hadn't even thought about, so every time some one votes or messages on here, I get notified, and I am sending it to my account manager.
    Just to make sure they are aware of it - trying to be as 'in their face' as possible.

    Pleeeeease Xero - can you do something about this. I am starting to lose clients to MYOB because they have a better user security system. Thats the only reason they are changing. There needs to be the facility to tick a box for payables or receivables reports within the managed user category.
    They need access without seeing all the management and financial reports.

    It is important that the accounts clerk cannot see the Financial reports. They currently have access to all business expenses, including the Directors Salaries, and the details of other staff members salaries, by just drilling down into the transactions.
    This information MUST be protected and secured from minor staff. There needs to be a set up with password, or a category between Invoice and accountant/manager please.

    Thanks for the support for this idea from everyone here. We appreciate our customers' needs for more controls in reports access, and being able to safeguard sensitive data while still empowering your team with the information they need.

    The good news is reporting is one of the primary areas that we’re looking to develop, and we’re working on a solution that’ll give you more flexibility within the Invoice only role by providing access to Sales & Purchases reports.

    As we continue to make headway with this, we’ll be back to share more updates with you all.

    This issue was raised in 2017 so please can we all keep ticking the security box so that we get one huge vote for this.
    They only look at the items with the most votes, so please search for a suggestion rather than starting another one. thanks
