Project Portal Task Visibility

This module changes behavior of task visibility. With this module, portal users will only see task where they are explicitly set as follower. So visibility on project only is no longer enough. However, when creating a new task, all users following the project will automatically follow the new task too.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

Portal users only see project tasks they follow, instead of every task in a portal-visible project. When a new task is created, everyone following the project automatically follows it too.

This module tightens what external (portal) users can see in the Projects app. Before, a portal user could see all tasks of a project shared to the portal; now they only see tasks where they are explicitly a follower.

  • A new access rule is added for portal users on project tasks: a task is visible only if its project is shared with the portal, the task is active, and the portal user's contact is among the task's followers.
  • The rule is read-only: portal users cannot write, create or delete tasks through it.
  • The standard portal rule that previously gave portal users access to all tasks of a portal project is switched off when the module is installed, and switched back on if the module is uninstalled.
  • To avoid portal users losing sight of new work, when a task is created all followers of its project automatically become followers of the new task as well.

No new menus, screens or reports are added; the change is a visibility and access rule on project tasks. It affects the Projects area and the portal task pages that portal users open.
