OE Journal Restriction: Journal Restriction For Users
Restrict journal access per user with record rules, onchange warnings, admin bypass, and automatic bank reconciliation filtering - all configured from standard Odoo views.
Key Features & Capabilities
Everything you need for professional operations
Per-User Journal Access
Assign specific journals to each user through a clean Many2many selector on the user form or journal form - both views stay in sync automatically.
Security Group Toggle
Enable or disable all journal restrictions with a single security group switch. No need to remove individual assignments when testing or troubleshooting.
Administrator Bypass
ERP Managers and authorized administrators see all journals regardless of restrictions - no lockouts for the people who run the system.
Smart Form Warnings
Users see an onchange warning when they select a restricted journal on invoices, payments, or journal entries - before they save.
Record Rule Enforcement
Account moves, payments, and journal items are hidden from users who lack access to the underlying journal. Bank reconciliation respects restrictions automatically.
No Separate Menus
Configuration lives inside the standard journal and user forms. No extra menu items, no learning curve, no clutter.
Clean Uninstall
Removes all restriction data on uninstall. No orphaned records, no residual permission tables.
Multi-Company Ready
Restrictions respect company boundaries. Configure different journal access rules per subsidiary without conflict.
Audit-Friendly Setup
Every restriction is visible in standard Odoo views. Export user-journal assignments for compliance reviews in seconds.

How to Use This Module
Step-by-Step Instructions to Get Started
Installation & Setup
- Install the module: Go to Apps -> Search for "oe_journal_restrict" -> Click Install.
- Assign access rights: In Settings -> Users, grant the "Journal Restriction: Manager" group to administrators who will configure restrictions.
- Enable restrictions: Navigate to Settings -> Technical -> Security -> Security Groups and activate the "Journal Restriction Active" group.
Basic Usage
- Restrict by journal: Open Accounting -> Configuration -> Journals, select a journal, and add users to the "Restricted Users" field.
- Restrict by user: Open Settings -> Users & Companies -> Users, select a user, and add journals to the "Allowed Journals" field.
- Verify enforcement: Log in as a restricted user and confirm that only permitted journals appear in dropdowns and list views.
- Override for admins: Assign the bypass group to users who need unrestricted journal access regardless of restrictions.
Tips & Best Practices
- Start with a pilot group of users before rolling out company-wide.
- Use the security group toggle during testing to quickly compare restricted vs. unrestricted behavior.
- Combine with oe_access_hub to centralize access policy management across modules.
- Review restrictions quarterly as part of your accounting compliance cycle.
Important Notes
Works with Odoo 16.0 Community and Enterprise. Requires the Accounting module. Restrictions apply to account.move, account.payment, and related models through record rules. Bank reconciliation views filter automatically based on the user's journal access.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which Odoo versions and editions are supported?
A: ``oe_journal_restrict`` targets Odoo 16.0 Community and Enterprise editions. It depends on the standard Accounting module and integrates directly with its journal, invoice, payment, and bank reconciliation views.
Q: Can I restrict journals for some users while leaving others unrestricted?
A: Yes. The security group toggle lets you enable restrictions globally. Users assigned to the bypass group see all journals regardless. Users without the bypass group see only their assigned journals.
Q: Does this module affect existing data or workflows?
A: No. Installing the module adds restriction fields to journal and user forms but does not change any existing data. Restrictions only take effect after you configure assignments and activate the security group.
Q: What happens during bank reconciliation?
A: Bank reconciliation views automatically filter to show only statements from journals the user has access to. Users cannot reconcile entries in journals they cannot see.
Q: How do I remove the module cleanly?
A: Uninstall the module from Apps. All restriction data is removed during uninstall. No residual permission tables or orphaned records remain.
