   Thanks for sharing and showing interest in how we can develop user roles to suit your needs when using Xero. 

   With many varying ideas for roles and permissions in different areas of our products, user roles impact all areas of the product. There are many factors we must consider when addressing how to solve for majority of our customers needs.

   We’re in the process of conducting research on the current landscape and how we might approach some of the most predominant needs in roles for our customers. This being one of our highest voted ideas surrounding roles is a specific focus for the team. too. 

   Discovery of this work is its first stages and will be long running. There will be multiple phases of research and forms of engagement with users that’ll help shape the path ahead in this space.  

   We value our customers input and would like to invite you, our community to be part of this research and discovery. This may involve interviews and sharing further feedback through direct surveys or questionnaires. 

   ✍️ If this is something you’d be interested in taking a part of please fill in our short form here.  

   Though we might not be able to invite everyone into every stage, our research team will be in touch with many of you over the coming months.  

   We'll come back and share on the outcomes of our research and any progress around development of roles in Xero.

   we have several folks involved in the invoicing process who should not be able to see anything about our accounts or accounting, but who I'd like to be able to run reports on invoicing.

   Hey everyone, we've been following the conversation closely and we want to acknowledge how important this is for many of you.

   Atm, we’re on a long journey to provide more controls within Xero features that our customers need. Being such a broad idea that touches many areas of our platform, we’d like to encourage adding your votes to specific user permissions that matter most to you, such as:

   • Bank Accounts: For more control over who can see bank account balances and access specific accounts, please see the idea here: User Role - Restrict access to individual bank accounts
   • Sales and Invoicing: If you’d like to see changes to permissions around sales reporting and editing invoice templates, you can follow that conversation here: User roles: Restrict access to Invoice Settings
   • Reports: To have your say on restricting access to specific reports, the relevant idea is here: User permissions - Assign user access to specific reports

   This change will allow us to focus on the more specific requests to explore. If you don’t see the user permission you’re after, raise a new idea here.

   We're thankful for the time and effort you've put into sharing your thoughts on this. Your feedback is valuable, and helps us better understand the priorities and needs of the community as we continue to evolve Xero.
