Hide View Profile in Chatter Popover
Secure employee privacy by blocking profile access from chatter popovers â Odoo 17
The Problem
In Odoo, clicking an employee name or avatar inside the chatter popover can open the HR Employee Profile. This may expose sensitive data to users who should not have HR access.
The Solution
This module intercepts the chatter popover action and blocks View Profile / View Employee navigation. It shows a clear Access Denied message â without touching server logic or database records.
