auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Adds a new security group, "Inventory Reporting Access", that lets regular Inventory users open the Inventory Reporting menu without being Inventory Administrators.
By default, the Reporting menu inside Inventory is only visible to Inventory Administrators. This module creates an extra permission group called "Inventory Reporting Access" so that ordinary Inventory users can be given access to that menu without granting them full administrator rights.
Where it appears in Odoo: - A new group is available in the user rights settings, under a hidden category, named "Inventory Reporting Access". - The Inventory Reporting menu is linked to this new group, so members of the group can see it.
Business rules and automatic behaviour: - The new group automatically includes the standard Inventory user role, so anyone given reporting access is also a normal Inventory user. - The group is defined as non-updatable data, meaning it is created once and not overwritten by later module updates.
Areas touched:
- It depends on the Inventory (stock) application and only changes access rights and menu visibility; it does not add new models, fields, reports or automated actions.
- No new screens, buttons, emails or scheduled jobs are introduced.
