    Hi community, thank you for your engagement and sharing how you'd like us to evolve roles for customers using Xero. User roles impact all areas of the product, there are many considerations we must factor in when assessing how to solve for majority of our customers needs - As you can see there is a large range of ideas for different roles shared by customers in Product Ideas.
    We’re conducting research on the current landscape and how we might approach some of the most predominant needs in roles for our customers. To be upfront, the discovery of this work will be long running and there'll be multiple phases of research and forms of engagement with users that’ll help shape the path ahead in this space.

    However, at this stage it’s far too early to anticipate or confirm any direction on where this discovery work will lead, but it will inform our next steps. Additionally, as I'm sure you can appreciate there are sensitivities of data access and security. Creating upgrades to user permissions will need very careful consideration. As most will be across, the reporting  team are leading up to retiring older versions of Xero’s reports on 31

    It would be useful if a feature was added so that when granting access to users you can choose which reports they have access to. At the moment, in order to give any member of a business access to see any report they may need or find useful they will also have access to view far more intrusive reports like full Profit & Loss reports and Balance Sheets. A current situation we are trying to deal with is that our client would like one of their managers to provide them with estimated figures for specific expenses in order for them to be able to forecast better but they do not want their manager to be able to see full P&Ls for the company so the manager has no method of viewing specific costings for a particular period.
