This module shows administrators a combined view of access rights and record rules per model with expressions expanded. This is convenient for reviewing permissions.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Adds an "Effective permissions" button on the user form that opens a list showing, per model, whether the user can create, read, write or delete records and the record rules that restrict those operations.
This module helps administrators understand what a specific user is really allowed to do in Odoo. On the user form, a button labelled "Effective permissions" appears in the button box (visible only to technical users). Clicking it opens a list titled "Effective permissions for <user name>".
The list has one line per model and shows four permission columns: Create, Read, Write and Delete. For each operation that is allowed, it also shows the restrictions coming from record rules, both as a readable expression and as an editable domain widget. Lines are ordered by the human-readable model name, and a search field lets you filter by model.
The calculation is done live for the selected user, taking into account their company and allowed companies. Models that are not installed or are abstract are skipped. The result is a temporary list, so nothing is stored permanently. No new menus are added; the feature is reached from the user form. The module extends res.users and adds the temporary model res.users.effective.permission.
