We appreciate everyone that's contributed here. Needs in more incremental permissions for bank accounts, have been clearly highlighted in your feedback - from protecting the confidentiality of payroll information to securely delegating reconciliation tasks for specific accounts.
Leaning in from our last update, our product teams have conducted lots of research of existing user roles, to highlight the most critical areas work is needed to power up our customers use of Xero.
Reporting and inventory are our first areas of priority, and you may have seen recent updates across ideas for these areas.
Permissions to bank accounts is another area that stood out in our research, but has more dependencies and will take longer to develop.
We'll keep you updated as our journey with roles and permissions evolve and there's more in the space of banking to share with you all.

I saw this on the old comment / forum that was "removed" and this “new” thread had to be created. this is a real mess; I would not recommend Xero to anyone who was not a single person in their own company. - I Own my own company and employ sales and manufacturing staff. - I cannot let sales see the bank accounts even thought I opened a separate account so that wages etc... could be put there, I cannot let sales add stock, as stock becomes available. I can’t let production purchase stock and add it to Xero or work with the payments of these. - This is product keeps having pointless makeovers and changes and no functional use apart from upsetting us when we get used to doing something one way and then they change it and we need to learn and equally difficult pointless change ( Back button on paid bills to get to awaiting payment to now where you have to start new every time. – Why—why!)

Hi Community! 👋
Following up on my last post—I’m excited to share that we've officially begun the rollout of the new Products & Services permissions for the Invoice Only role!
Currently this is rolled out to 50% of users, so many of you will already see these new options in your settings:
- No access
- View
- View and create/edit
- View, create/edit, and adjust stock
We’re monitoring the rollout closely and expect to release to all users very soon. I’ll be back with one final update as soon as the feature is available to everyone 🙏

Xero keeps pushing JAX the AI tool that is new technology and yet User role has been asked for decade has not been implemented. Why would I even consider setting up and using the online bill payments if I can not restrict which users can do this. - pointless really.

Totally agree - stock control to the purchasing manager - its is so pointless not having this function

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 😊)

Such a basic requirement of a system in a business and is still not there.

This is a must at a basic level of operation, with out we can not grow our company. It is limiting what we do.
After 12 years of asking on here I am looking for an alternative system.
This should not be an add on feature - it a a base requirement

Hi community, your ongoing interest in giving users the ability to reconcile without viewing account balances is welcomed.
We understand why this level of bank permission control matters. As recently mentioned in my updates on this idea, while we do have current work for user roles underway there is more complexities to developing permissions within the banking space and this isn't on the immediate roadmap.
As we continue our journey to evolving roles within Xero we'll be sure to share any progress for permissions in bank accounts with you all, here.

After 10 plus years of asking - this is the best we can hope for! - This is wilfully arrogant .

Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback on this idea. We appreciate you explaining how important more flexible user permissions are for your businesses. We understand having granular control over who can create, submit, and approve quotes and purchase orders could help many of you implement better internal controls and protect sensitive financial information.
This idea is now moving to In Discovery, which means our product team are reviewing the viability of the idea as part of wider development of the permissions/user role functionality in Xero. We'll keep you updated here as we learn more.

Thanks so much for sharing your feedback on this idea, community. We appreciate that having to manually select attachments on every invoice can feel a little fiddly. We get that you want a smoother workflow, that saves you time.
As noted by others in the idea, one option for now would be to add standard files, like your terms and conditions, directly to your invoice template. That way, they'll be included automatically when you send out your invoices.
To confirm how this functionality currently works - this is based on the user and driven by the last invoice that was sent. Where you have files attached, and you had selected to include files as an attachment when emailing the invoice, the next invoice you send with file attachments should have this selected by default.
A caveat to this is when you are working in incognito mode, or refresh your browser…

Hi everyone, though there isn't any progress to share on this idea we do want to provide and update for you all and thank you for engaging with us about this here.
We understand the desire and needs for being able to change or set a separate reply to email address when sending from your Xero organisation.
We're continuing to make improvements to sending of invoices in Xero however at this point our roadmaps does not extend to the email settings specifically.
This continues to be an area we're interested in diving deeper into in the long term and we'll be sure to share as soon as there's movement.
For the time being the only way to change the Reply-to email is to update this on the email settings screen prior to sending your transaction and change it back post sending. Thanks
