Archive Security

This module introduces a security group named "Can archive records". Only users who belong to this group are allowed to archive or unarchive records anywhere in Odoo.

Where it appears: - In form views, the archive/unarchive action is hidden for users who are not in the group. - In list views, the same action is hidden for users who are not in the group. - The group itself appears in the standard user and group settings screens, so administrators can assign it.

Business rules and automatic behaviour: - If a user without the group tries to archive or unarchive a record (for example through an automated action or a direct call), Odoo raises an access error explaining that only members of the group can do it. - When the module is installed, all existing users are automatically added to the group, so nobody loses the ability to archive right away. Administrators can then remove users from the group as needed. - The system administrator and the superuser are always members of the group.

Areas touched: - The rule applies to every model in Odoo, because it is added to the base model that all other models inherit from. - The archive and unarchive buttons in the web interface are controlled for both form and list views.
