This module extends the export capability:

  • It allows an admin to manage export profiles (ir.exports) that Odoo stores internally but does not show anywhere.
  • It also adds a new column to access rights to enable/disable export and override the export method to check if the user is allowed to export. Export is enabled by default.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0

Lets administrators create and manage reusable export profiles for any Odoo model, and control per access-right whether users are allowed to export records.

This module makes the export profiles that Odoo stores internally visible and manageable. A new "Export Profiles" menu appears under the Settings area, where you can list, create and edit profiles for any database model.

On a profile you choose the model and then build the list of columns to export. Each line can go up to four levels deep through relational fields (for example customer/country/name), and the module automatically shows a friendly column label and the technical field path. It checks that fields exist, prevents the same field being added twice, and refuses more than four levels.

It also adds an "Export Access" checkbox to access rights. This checkbox appears in the model access list, the access-rights form, the model form and the group form. Export is allowed by default. When a user does not have export access on a model, the Export button is hidden in list views for that model (system administrators are not restricted).

The module touches ir.exports, ir.exports.line, ir.model.access, res.users, ir.model and ir.http, and includes a small list-view behaviour change so the export button respects these permissions.
