This module provides persistent access to technical features based on user preferences, eliminating the need to activate debug mode.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Lets selected users keep Odoo's technical features and technical menus switched on permanently, without having to turn on developer (debug) mode each time.
This module adds a new user option called "Technical Features" that gives a user permanent access to Odoo's technical features without activating debug mode.
Where it appears: - On the user form (both the full user form and the simplified "My Profile" form), a new checkbox is added in the "Other Preferences" section. - A new user group, "Technical Features (w/o debug mode)", is created; it automatically includes the standard hidden-technical-features group.
What it changes: - When the checkbox is ticked, the user is added to that group; when unticked, the user is removed from it. The checkbox value is derived from group membership, so both stay in sync. - For users with the option enabled, technical menus that are normally hidden become visible, and views are rendered as if debug mode were active. - The administrator user is enabled for this option by default when the module is installed. - Users can read and change this option on their own profile.
It touches the user model (res.users), the menu model (ir.ui.menu) and the view model (ir.ui.view). No reports, emails or scheduled jobs are added.

terminal Installation and usage
OCA documentation · Odoo 19.0Configuration
Source · Odoo 19.0After installation of this module, every employee can still access technical features for the applications that they have access to by enabling debug mode.
Additionally, users can check the Technical feature field in their preferences to gain permanent access to the menus and views that fall under this category.
Upon installation of this module, this preference is already set for the administrator user of the database.
In the background, this preference is mapped to the Technical feature (w/o debug mode) group that this module adds. As an administrator, you can therefore manage this preference from the regular Users and Groups menu items.
