    Hi everyone, we appreciate you taking the time to share how important more flexible payroll permissions are for your teams.

    It's clear that having granular control over who can access different parts of payroll would make a real difference to how you manage timesheets and leave approvals, as well as restrict access to other sensitive areas.

    From research, Payroll is definitely an area we know needs more permission controls for varying roles. This is something our product teams are beginning to explore and do deeper research of. We'll keep you updated as we make progress, and we're grateful for your continued input.

    I agree with Ariella's comments below. We are an accounting firm that processes payroll on behalf of our clients, which necessitates that our staff have Payroll Admin access. However, they are not part of the client organisation and it's therefore ludicrous that they have access to approve our clients' employees' leave. It's a serious design flaw in Xero Payroll and should be rectified immediately!
