1. I agree that the permissions for user access should be more granular. This would allow better risk management.
2. Therefore, it is crucial for a business using Xero to have the ability to :
a) manage access to sensitive information (i.e. financial, clients, suppliers, and staff)
b) control changes that can made to our settings including what can be added, edited, and deleted.
c) segregate between preparer and approver for various tasks and key changes.
3. Among all other limitations already raised:
a) I can't give a user access to raise a purchase order or bills and access to supplier contacts without also giving them access to all customer contacts and related financial information such as amount owed by customers and details into how much they are invoiced.
b) I can't control their ability to add, edit, and delete supplier and client contacts and in some cases banking details.
4. More granular user access controls would encourage more users to be on Xero, which will be great business for Xero and its subscribers.
