    Hi community, we understand user roles and the permissions a user has across an organisation is important to many businesses. Right now, as some may have seen across other ideas I've updated - we have some research underway to help us better understand where and how we might best tackle the most predominant needs in roles. 

    To make sure we're getting a good scope across our products - we'd like to offer those interested in roles & permissions for payroll to join the research here. If you'd like to be a part of this, please fill in this short form here ✍️and our team will be in touch over the coming weeks. 🙂


    Just to set the expectation, the research and discovery for this project is likely to take a few months. Once outcomes are formed from the research, I'll be able to return and share what the next steps…

    This idea is 'common sense' for any robust functioning interactively used payroll system, so when will Xero advise that it will look at it / implement it / or do we assume the idea gets continued to be ignored!!

    The request for read only is quite relieving for senior execs who perhaps want to enquire at some depth knowing they want change any of the information already entered. SO it is great to have this but not to have this for looking at Payroll is quite surprising. One of the main costs of almost every business these days are wages and salaries so for the CEO to see this in a read only context, I think is really important. Yet for most users Payroll should not be accessible due to the confidential nature of the information. So the distinction needs to be recognised in user permissions.
