Hide Chatter based on User Access Rights
The Hide Chatter based on User Access Rights module is a lightweight, efficient utility that restricts Chatter visibility based on user access rights. By introducing a custom user group permission, Can View Chatter, the system dynamically hides the Chatter component (log notes, messages, activities, and attachments) for users without the permission, and automatically removes empty layout space from the form view for a cleaner UI.

Hide Chatter based on User Access Rights
Our Hide Chatter based on User Access Rights module provides a robust way to manage security and layout on Odoo forms by controlling who has access to view and interact with the Chatter panel. By simply checking or unchecking a custom user-level setting, administrators can protect sensitive communication and maintain a highly focused user interface.
Key Features & Benefits
- Granular Access Control: Restricts Chatter access using a dedicated security group "Can View Chatter".
- Automatic Hiding: Completely removes the log notes, message composer, and followers sections for restricted users.
- Clean UI Presentation: Dynamically removes the space reserved for the Chatter panel, making form views display full-width.
- Default Access Granted: Automatically assigns the group to all current users upon installation for a zero-disruption startup.
- Auto-assigned to New Users: Automatically registers new users into the "Can View Chatter" group by default.
- Smooth Integration: Fully compatible with standard and custom Odoo model form layouts that use the mail chatter widget.
