Appreciate the feedback, Justin and understand still needing more from this feature.
This is something we'll continue to consider and will keep a close watch on this idea in the community here.
I'll make sure to share if there are any further updates planned for this with you here.

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…

You make this sound as though it's a nice to have. With the number of cyber attacks currently happening, having single provisioning and access from Entra would enable us to use features like conditional access, centralised logging, and deprovisioning of users from one place without the need to manage it in Xero. Your RBAC is terrible; offering almost no granularity of user management, and there's no way to mandate security controls like MFA centrally. It's really not a nice to have, but a necessity because either you own security needs a tremendous amount of work, or you could just use existing known services like Entra. Xero is fast becoming the old competition that it used to overtake and it's time to wake up.

Hi everyone, we’ve taken time to review the suggestion to include custom fields for both invoices and contacts, and recognise the value it'd bring in helping users capture more detailed information and avoid manual processes.
However, with other focuses drawing the teams attention such as multiple addresses this idea is not on our current development roadmap.
As we continue to plan future roadmaps, being highly supported this idea will continue to be considered, however we want to be open about it's current position with you all here. We appreciate you sharing your feedback and for your ongoing participation in the Xero community. Any changes to this status will be shared with everyone on this idea.

The response from Kelly is extremely disappointing. This is undoubtedly a thing which is important to hundreds of customers but perhaps something which is more important than "building on beautiful". I cannot understand why this is so difficult to be honest as in many cases; people would be looking to reference other fields which are there, or just want to add some additional information into fields which, I would hope, you would have as configurable placeholder fields in the tables of the database. If not, a schema extension should be trivial as it wouldn't require adjusting the existing fields; only adding user configurable placeholders which could then be referenced elsewhere. I'm really disappointed with this response as I thought Xero were more customer focused than this. With little functional differences introduced over the last 18 months, I don't know what else your devs could be working on which is of significantly greater importance than real world customer need.

This is absolutely necessary as this may be required to give visibility to reseller customers who are selling products or services on to an end user. This has been open for a long time; please can this get some attention?

I'm blown away by how Xero almost understood the issue, and yet the result is still missing the one thing we'd all have preferred first which is a default date!!
