# Grant temporary access to Xero

Steps to grant Drivetrain temporary access to Xero.

### Grant Temporary Access to Xero for Support

In some cases—such as bug troubleshooting or connection errors—you may be asked to grant the Drivetrain team temporary access to your Xero account. This allows us to log in and investigate issues directly from the Xero UI.

This guide explains how to provision a temporary user with sufficient access that can be revoked once support is complete. Use this flow only if requested by Drivetrain support. Most customers will not need to follow these steps.

### Step 1: Invite a New User in Xero

1. Log in to Xero with an **Org Admin** account.
2. From the **Organization** dropdown, select **Settings > Users**.
3. Click **Invite a User**.
4. Enter the user details:
   * **First name:** Drivetrain
   * **Last name:** AI
   * **Email:** Use the address provided by your Drivetrain Customer Success Manager (typically `dp-{customername}@drivetrain.ai`).
5. Assign permissions:
   * **Projects:** Admin
   * **Business and Accounting:** Advisor (Org Admin is preferred for troubleshooting).
6. Click **Send Invite**.

### Step 2: Notify the Drivetrain Team

Once the invite has been sent, notify your Drivetrain point of contact. A team member will accept the invitation and proceed with the troubleshooting.

### Step 3: Revoke Access After Resolution (Optional)

You can remove the temporary user after the issue is resolved:

1. Return to **Users** in Xero.
2. **Locate** the Drivetrain user.
3. Click **Remove User**.

### Security Note

This temporary access method gives Drivetrain team members front-end visibility into your Xero account. We recommend using it only when required and revoking access once the issue is resolved.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://integrations.drivetrain.ai/integration-guide/readme/accounting-and-erp/integrating-with-xero/grant-temporary-access-to-xero.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
