Hi everyone, we appreciate all the feedback and votes on this idea. We know using Microsoft Entra ID SSO is now common practice for some businesses and being able to access Xero via a native integration with Entra ID would streamline how your teams log in and get set up in Xero, as well as help in managing access for larger teams and keeping things secure.
Our product team have been working with a small limited group of Partners to develop SSO capabilities. Though we can't give any definite timelines yet, we’ll keep this thread updated with news. Thanks

Recall many only voting here because you previously closed the highly voted submission requesting generic third-party SSO years ago.

No, we don't want Azure integration, we want generic SAML that works with any ID provider. But you've closed that idea, even though it is the solution to SSO.

There should be an additional user role for an employee who can create expenses of other employees, but not approve them. This is for the case where an administrator or PA can input expenses for another employee, which also ensures they're coded correctly. Currently you cannot create for other employees unless you can also approve expenses.

Thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.
Now it's up to the community to get behind and support this idea. Make sure you share it with any colleagues that this could benefit, so they can add their vote too!
In the meantime, you might like to use Xero's own authenticator app, Xero Verify, which does support push notifications when you log in.

SSO is recognised as a critical aspect of modern business security.
Our business uses Jumpcloud as it's secure IdP provider. Xero should support Jumpcloud as the authentication provider for Xero user logins. Jumpcloud supports generic SAML connections and supports MFA using their dedicated mobile device push app, or also OTP if necessary. A dedicated Jumpcloud integration could perhaps enforce/require MFA if this is an issue for third party IdP providers.

I think it's unfair to criticise Xero here, it's only been asked for for 12 YEARS. Well, ok, actually a few more years than that, because there was another SSO idea on here before that which they said they wouldn't do and closed it. Clearly though Xero just had the foresight to see that soon AI was coming and some guy on his own would be able to replicate Xero with Claude Code in a few days, but with SSO, so what's the point of spending ages developing features when you should just milk what you have while you can? This will be my last comment on this issue, I think my 12-15 year journey of following progress on SSO at Xero is coming to an end and I'm going to try and unsubscribe from updates to this idea. So goodbye fellow SSO hopefuls. Maybe I'll check back in every decade or so to see how the feature is coming along. For those of you still waiting, perhaps just starting out on your Xero SSO journey, I wish you well, and godspeed. Think of the future years you wait for this feature as a type of meditative contemplation, a time when you can consider the nature of hope and how it relates to a world in which some thing remain forever out of reach. You can come to learn the true acceptance of things as they are, and not as you wish them to be. In this case, that thing being logging into your flippin Xero account with SSO.
