Thanks for sharing and showing interest in how we can develop user roles to suit your needs when using Xero.
With many varying ideas for roles and permissions in different areas of our products, user roles impact all areas of the product. There are many factors we must consider when addressing how to solve for majority of our customers needs.
We’re in the process of conducting research on the current landscape and how we might approach some of the most predominant needs in roles for our customers. This being one of our highest voted ideas surrounding roles is a specific focus for the team. too.
Discovery of this work is its first stages and will be long running. There will be multiple phases of research and forms of engagement with users that’ll help shape the path ahead in this space.
We value our customers input and would like to…

It is important that I can give certain staff access to edit an invoice without seeing our bank information. Also, they need to see how the customer paid their invoice, via Cash, Cheque or Credit Card. Right now, if my staff need this information they have to call me and I have to look it up for them.

Heya team, we're now actively testing how reports could be grouped and accessed, and we'd love your input in this, so we can design a better report grouping structure that supports role-based access in reporting.
Get involved! Complete a quick 15-min online activity to test how reports are grouped and accessed:
- Part 1: answer questions about the current report grouping
- Part 2: explores a new grouping and role-based report access
👉 If you're interested, please go through the link here.
Thanks again for your support and contributions to developing a solution that works best for majority of our customers!
(Just to note - If you’ve already gone through this activity, there's no need to do it again — our researchers may have contacted you earlier 😊)

I think the simplest way of doing this would be to allow us to give a user access to a specific report. I only have one report that I need my staff to see but it is critical in running our business. I need them to be able to balance the day and make sure our cash, cheques and debits balance. I urge you to look at Quickbooks as they do a really good job with User rolls.

Hey everyone, we've been following the conversation closely and we want to acknowledge how important this is for many of you.
Atm, we’re on a long journey to provide more controls within Xero features that our customers need. Being such a broad idea that touches many areas of our platform, we’d like to encourage adding your votes to specific user permissions that matter most to you, such as:
- Bank Accounts: For more control over who can see bank account balances and access specific accounts, please see the idea here: User Role - Restrict access to individual bank accounts
- Sales and Invoicing: If you’d like to see changes to permissions around sales reporting and editing invoice templates, you can follow that conversation here: User roles: Restrict access to Invoice Settings
- Reports: To have your say on restricting access to specific reports, the relevant idea is here: User permissions - Assign user…

Thank you Kelly, do you have any kind of timeline? I am in the process of switching to quickbooks because they already have the users so that you can customize their rolls. I have been with Xero for 4 years, and finally decided I can't keep waiting. I will fill out the survey and hopefully help with the process. I would really appreciate someone reach out to me. Maybe I don't have to switch, that would be awesome! I would need to know in the next couple days!

It's nice to see I am not alone in needing this feature for our business. Every update or improvement they do is great... BUT I become so frustrated that they aren't making actual important improvements such as this one. This should be top priority. I have been with Xero since 2019 and have been trying to be heard.

I find this the biggest struggle I have with Xero. I would like to be able to restrict my staff from seeing our banking information, but still give them access to some reports. It makes it really difficult to keep them busy enough and so much falls on my shoulders.

I urge you to look at Quickbooks and see how their user rolls are. They are really well done. And to be honest, it is a standard for all accounting systems. Xero is ahead of many accounting systems in many ways but in this area they are far behind and it is making their customers suffer to stay with them. It is unfortunate. This needs to be a priority over EVERYTHING ELSE. Please, stop doing updates that are not nearly as important and fuel all your resources into this!
