Thanks for your feedback on Single Sign-On(SSO). We last updated this idea in October 2025, and we’re sorry it’s taken some time for us to provide another. We will do our best to keep you more informed of progress as it continues.
Where SSO is today
We’ve built an SSO capability for accountant and bookkeeper partner practices using OpenID Connect (OIDC). We ran a closed beta with a small group of partners, which is now complete, and those partners are connected. We’re still confirming how and when other accounting and bookkeeping partners can access it. SSO isn’t currently available to businesses or IT providers. We’ll share access details in a future update once they’re confirmed.
What we’re looking at next
We’re exploring what it would take to offer SSO to small businesses. Business needs differ from accountant and bookkeeper partners’, so we’re looking at:
- how a business and its users…

In positive news, Hubspot just announced that they've added SSO support using SAML2.0 to their non enterprise tiers so that organisations can maintain good security regardless of size.
Nice to know it's not every SaaS provider that just complete ignores hundreds upon hundreds of requests from their customers for standard security functionality necessary for SaaS applications. It's just Xero.

Kelly Munro,
Would it be possible for Xero to combine all requests for 'Azure AD', 'SSO, 'Single Sign-On', 'SAML' 'Identity Provider' and 'IdP' including the combined number of votes.
There is a significant number of us customers asking for this but unfortunately there seems to be numerous different Ideas all suggesting the same thing in a slightly different way which may be falsely giving you the impression the numbers are lower.

Unfortunately, the lights are on but it doesn't appear that in many many years of customers begging for SSO through a 3rd party IdP via the open standard SAML2.0 protocol that they're listening, or maybe just do not understand what is being asked.

Hi everyone, we appreciate the number of users that'd like to see more mechanisms to assign and control who approves specific employee's claims.
Our product teams have a close eye on this idea, and while this feature is not in the roadmap atm, they'll keep reviewing this as they continue to plan and prioritise work for Expenses. So, if there us any shift in status we'll share an update to keep you all informed on the idea, here.

Thanks for sharing your interest in single sign on across Xero's products. This is available currently across many areas or Xero. For example if you are logged in and working in Xero, then move across to Xero Central(our support hub) you may need to click the login button in the top right of the screen but if you're session hasn't ended you should find the page should refresh and automatically log you in.
We appreciate wanting a smoother login experience that's recognised across all Xero products and will share if there are any improvements planned around this with you all, here.

Helene, Calvin,
Xero prioritise ideas against the number of votes. Please join the several existing requests for this so we aren't turning 1 loud voice into small whispers.
Thank you Kelly,
Very grateful that you picked this critical SaaS security feature request up and are finally taking it seriously.
Note that there's a lot of ideas asking for the same kind of generic SAML2.0 / SCIM / OIDC type functionality going back over 10 years. Over that time, as you'll have seen from our comments a lot of faith in Xero and this process has been lost.
I can see you aren't giving a definite timeline or commitment but even if you can't do that, what would be great is either when you will be able to offer us that timeline, or when we can at least expect another update so we know this isn't just words.
Many thanks again for finally getting your team onboard.
