    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.

    @Chris Henderson I would also be very interested to know what other software you use. We have investigated other software, including writing our own with the API, but found that the API had the same limitations as normal Xero.

    This is a shocking oversight on the part of Xero. Why would I want my inventory person to have access to my bank accounts??? This makes the inventory function useless for anything except a single-user business.

    It's even more frustrating that people have been asking for this fix for years and Xero is just ignoring us.

    Xero could fix this in an afternoon if they cared to do so.

    We currently cannot use inventory in Xero. Most of our users are "invoice only" users and they cannot see inventory. We cannot give everyone full access just so that they can use inventory. It is disturbing that Xero doesn't have this option to begin with and it's even more disturbing that Xero is ignoring all the requests on the matter.
