Create a Xero connection and set a bank account

The process below needs to be followed and settings filled in to allow Bp Allied to access your Xero account and transfer across information.

Before you start
You will need your Xero account login name, password and if in Australia, access to the authenticator app for two stage authentication of your login.
According to Xero, from this article here, it appears that the user needs to be at least a Standard user to be able to create the new Xero connection. Once it is created, all users can use it.
