    Thanks for all your input and sharing how we can improve Xero's user roles to cater for the needs of your business and staff you'd like to provide this access for.

    As you may have seen in other ideas we've been conducting some research into user roles across all of Xero. As a step on from this, one of our teams are beginning a deeper dive into solving this idea here and enabling more roles access to Products & services (Inventory) in Xero.

    While this may take sometime to accomplish we wanted to provide an update to you all interested in this, and we'll keep you informed of further progress as the team begin looking into it.

    Here's what it actually means.., XERO,
    For any BUSINESS OWNER who doesn't want their admin staff to see the companies bank balances, (probably most I would guess?? What do you think Xero??) this business owner then has to do their own admin relating to adding, changing, updating ANY inventory item.
    Yay! I personally couldn't think of anything else I'd rather be doing - as a business owner!
    SO, by enabling bank balances to be visible while doing any admin relating to inventory, this current setting is fundamentally detrimental to business and productivity.

    Hey Xero, Brent Doven, and any other Xero staff member who wants to reply to this thread with some half assed response, instead of actually DOING WHAT IS NEEDED!
    Clearly YOU GUYS (Xero) don't operate your own businesses!!
    EG,
    Lets say you operate your own business, you have a guy (Buffo) who works the forklift and manages the location of stock on the warehouse floor. Sometimes Buffo needs to update the descriptions of stock on the floor, or add a new item etc..
    Question;
    Why the **** does Buffo need to see the balance of the companies bank accounts to do his job ?????????????? ffs

    SORT THIS OUT

    We operate with our customers supplying us with their PO's..
    We complete the work, then once completed, I forward that PO on to my admin staff who then generate the invoice & send..
    But their PO's can change - as all things do,
    and for my staff to have to have access to account balances etc, just to be able to add or edit a product & service item is almost unacceptable.
    WHY????
