Use this interactive demo to learn how to invite and add a new user to your Xero organization.

Quick summary

Adding a user in Xero takes just a few steps: navigate to Settings, open the Users section, and send an invite with the appropriate permissions. Once the invited user accepts, they are immediately added to your Xero organization.


Steps

  1. On Xero's main dashboard, go to the top-left corner and click your Organization name.
  2. Choose Settings from the list of options.
  3. Tap Users under the General section.
  4. Click Invite a User at the top-right corner.
  5. Enter the new user's personal information into the respective input fields.
  6. Review the permissions list and tick the checkboxes beside the permissions you want to enable.
  7. Under Personalize the Invite, tick the checkbox beside Add a Message and write a custom invite message if desired.
  8. Click Send Invite to dispatch the invitation.
  9. Once the invite is accepted, the user will be added to your Xero organization.

📌 Why this matters

Managing team access in Xero is critical for keeping your accounting data secure and your workflows organized. The ability to add and invite users directly from the Xero dashboard lets administrators control exactly who can access financial data and what permissions they hold. Granular permission settings ensure each team member sees only what is relevant to their role, reducing the risk of unauthorized changes. This feature is essential for growing businesses that need to onboard bookkeepers, accountants, or staff quickly without compromising data integrity.
