   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.

   Hi. Xero allows restricted access to reports as a whole on the Standard user profile. However, the standard user still has access to the chart of accounts, where they can edit, add and even view details of the balance and breakdown for the current period. Therefore, giving them access to balances. Our clients would want access restricted on the chart of accounts for standard users as well as giving them access to only certain reports.
