OE Element Hider
Lock down Create, Edit, Import, Export, Action, Print, Duplicate, and Delete buttons per role-Treys.ai keeps every workspace compliant without custom code.
Enhanced Features in This Version
Professional Capabilities for Your Business
Per-Model Policy Matrix
Override group defaults with triâstate policies (inherit/hide/show) per model for Create, Edit, Import, Export, Action, Print, Duplicate, and Delete.
Key Features & Capabilities
Everything you need for professional operations
Unified Control Matrix
Map eight standard UI controls to security groups and deploy consistent policies across every app without editing XML or writing JavaScript.
Multi-View Enforcement
Create, Edit, and Import visibility sync automatically across list, form, and kanban views so users experience the same governance everywhere.
Action & Print Governance
Hide entire Action or Print menus-or only the risky operations inside them-while keeping approved flows untouched.
Import & Export Safeguards
Restrict file-based data moves to supervised teams and avoid accidental CSV or XLSX leaks.
Duplicate & Delete Guardrails
Protect critical records from casual duplication or deletion, keeping audit trails intact.
Treys.ai Compliance Insights
AI-powered health checks summarize group adoption, missing rules, and active assets for quarterly reviews.
Visual Restriction Badges
Dynamic control-panel badges show which buttons were removed so managers can confirm policies instantly.
Session-Level Caching
Group flags cache per user session for snappy navigation without redundant RPC calls.
No-Code Administration
Assign standard security groups, reload, and you're done-no templates, no developer backlog.

How to Use This Module
Step-by-Step Instructions to Get Started
Installation & Setup
- Install the module: Go to Apps -> Search for "oe_element_hider" -> Click Install.
- Configure permissions: Navigate to Settings -> Users & Companies -> Groups and assign the Hide Create/Edit/Import/etc. groups to the appropriate roles.
- Refresh workspaces: Ask end users to reload their browser tab so the cached control flags update immediately.
Basic Usage
- Assign hide groups: Open a user's profile and tick the OE Element Hider groups that match their responsibilities.
- Verify the interface: Switch to list, form, and kanban views to confirm the restricted buttons disappeared.
- Combine policies: Stack multiple hide groups (e.g., Hide Export + Hide Delete) to build custom governance models.
- Monitor Treys badge: Look at the control-panel badge to ensure the correct controls are enforced.
Tips & Best Practices
- Create role-based group bundles (e.g., "Warehouse Read Only") to simplify onboarding.
- Pair with record rules if certain records must remain hidden entirely.
- Re-run the Treys.ai health check after permission changes to confirm coverage.
- Document your group matrix so audits and training stay aligned.
Important Notes
OE Element Hider removes buttons for every view that the assigned user can access. Ensure at least one administrator retains full access to avoid locking yourself out of bulk actions, and clear browser caches after large permission updates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which Odoo versions and editions are supported?
A: OE Element Hider is optimized for Odoo 12 through 19 Community and Enterprise. It relies only on core modules (base, web, base_import) and installs cleanly alongside your existing customizations.
Q: Can I hide buttons only on certain models?
A: Group membership applies anywhere the user interacts. If a control should remain available on one model, leave that user out of the relevant group and rely on record rules or view customizations for special cases.
Q: Does the module support multi-company environments?
A: Yes. OE Element Hider respects Odoo's native multi-company rules. Assign hide groups per company-specific roles and the visibility settings follow the user's active company context.
