Technical Odoo 15

In this blog, we will be discussing how to add users and manage their access rights in Odoo.
In Odoo, the user is the one who has access to the database. We can add as many users as we want, and we can decide which type of information the user can access by giving access rights to them. 
Add Users
For adding a new user, go to settings? Manage Users or setting -> Users & Companies -> Users. It will list all the existing users in the database, and to create a new one, click on the Create button.

Access Rights
These rules are used to control user access to the Odoo database. It depicts what a user can do in the database. It is essential to have these rules to prevent confusion and ensure that the database is secure.
In the user's form, we choose the group that defines the user access to specific applications. Let us know more about user groups.
Activate the developer mode, and go to Settings -> Users & Companies ? Groups. It shows the list of all existing user groups. Access rules to models within an application are defined in groups. It will define the user access on models, menus, views, etc. Users added to this group will follow these rules.

Inherited means that the users added in this group are also added to the groups listed in the Inherited tab. Whenever a user is added to the sales/Administrator group, he will also get added to the Sales/User: All Documents group. It means that the user will also have the all-access rights of the Sales/User: All Documents group.
You can define the menus accessible to this user group in the Menus tab.

The rights for controlling each model in the various applications are defined under the Access Rights tab. It is defined model-wise; we can select a model and set read, write, create and delete access right to that model. The Name will display the technical name of the model.

Record Rules are formed as a secondary layer of editing, which is used to overwrite or refine the rules. It’s written using the domain. A domain represents the list of conditions, which filter the record, and we can assign read, write, create and delete access on them.
