   Hey everyone, thank you for all your feedback. We’re on a long journey to provide more granular access and controls within Xero features that our customers need.

   As you may have seen in some of our recent updates across other user roles ideas we’re currently in the process of adding more permissions within Reporting and Inventory. Further to this our research has highlighted Payroll and Banking as areas that more controls are most needed, and are on our agenda as we continue to develop permissions and access to features.

   Your feedback here and through direct engagements with our teams have been extremely insightful, and we appreciate all your inputs.

   I'll continue to provide updates on the development of roles for features as we progress.

   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 are set up in Xero
   • which businesses would qualify
   • how we’d check a company owns its email domain
   • how onboarding and support would work

   Help us understand your needs

   If you run or work in a small business, an accounting or bookkeeping practice, or are an IT provider, please take our short survey. It will give us a sense of how you sign in today, which identity provider you use (if any) and what you need from SSO. It takes about 5 minutes and closes Friday 11 December 2026.

   We don’t have a timeline to share yet. We’ll share an update on the survey findings in the new year (2027).

   This is an absolute MUST, and XERO is on our risk register until this is released. This is not a feature but a standard requirement for SaaS applications today.
