The standard grants/prevents access to any UI export via Access to export feature group.

This module adds a new group for the 'Direct Export (xlsx)' feature, leaving the standard one for only the 'Export All' feature.

Admin users can always use the export option.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

Adds a separate permission for the direct Excel (xlsx) export in list views, so administrators can decide who may export data directly and who may only use the standard export options.

This module splits the export permission in Odoo into two levels. A new group called "Direct Export (xlsx)" is created, and the standard "Access to export feature" group now automatically includes it.

  • Users in the new group can use the direct export option in list views; the export menu entry only appears for them when the list view allows it.
  • The server checks this group whenever data is exported, so the permission is enforced both in the interface and on the server side.
  • Administrators (the admin and root users) are added to the new group by default, so they keep full export ability.
  • The group is hidden from the normal group configuration screens, and it is given read access to the export definitions model so the export feature can work.

The module touches the ir.http session information (to tell the web client whether the current user has the direct export right) and the generic base model export method. It does not add new menus or reports; it only changes who can see and use the export option in list views.
