Managing a Xero organisation involves various tasks, from editing expenses to overseeing invoices. That is why Xero offers a comprehensive setting for user roles and permissions. Whether you are an organisation’s admin or a new user, understanding how to assign and manage permissions is crucial for effective use of your Xero account. This article provides an overview of how to configure user roles and permissions in Xero.
Understanding User Roles in Xero
In Xero, different user roles offer different levels of access to the organisation’s data. These roles range from a standard user to an admin user, and each user role needs to include specific permissions to perform various tasks.
Admin User: Full Access to Xero
The admin user has full access to all Xero settings and features. They can add new users, approve transactions, and edit the organisation’s settings. This user has access to everything, from bank account details to expense claims.
Standard User: The Most Common User Role
A standard user role in Xero is often assigned to staff members responsible for day-to-day financial tasks. This role can approve and pay bills, create and approve invoices, and record payment.
Advisor: For Your Accountant or Financial Advisor
The advisor role is typically assigned to an external accountant or financial adviser. Advisors have full access to the organisation’s financial data but need the admin’s approval for specific tasks like editing bank account information.
Subscriber: Limited to Subscription and Billing
The subscriber role is specific to managing the Xero subscription and pricing plan but does not allow any other form of access to the organisation’s financial data.
