The User Log module adds a dedicated permission field directly on the Odoo user form (Settings → Users & Companies → Users). Administrators can assign each user a User Log access level — Manager or User — controlling what they can view and manage within the audit log system.

From User Log → Configuration, administrators have full control over what gets tracked. Each configuration record lets you:

• Select Operations — independently enable or disable Read, Write, Create, and Delete tracking
• Target Users — enable All Users to track everyone, or select specific users only
• Choose Models — pick any Odoo model from the full list (377+ available models) including Accounts, Contacts, Companies, Journals, and more

This granular setup ensures only the relevant activity is logged, keeping your audit data clean and meaningful.

When a new record is created — such as a Sales Quotation — the module instantly captures the event. Every creation is logged with the user name, timestamp, and a full snapshot of the initial field values, giving you a clear picture of what was entered from day one.

The User Logs list immediately reflects the creation event. Both the Sales Order and its Sales Order Line are logged separately, each showing the exact Record Name, responsible User, operation Type (Create), and precise Date & Time — giving you a complete and automatic trail from the moment a record is born.

Opening a log entry reveals the complete picture. The form shows the User, exact Date & Time, Object (Sales Order), Record Name, and operation Type. The "What User Did" section provides a plain-English summary of the entire creation, while the Changed Fields tab lists every field with its Technical Name and New Value — so you always know exactly what data was entered when the record was first created.

By setting up tracking for the Write operation, edit a record from the Model selected in the User Log configuration.

When a record is updated, the module captures exactly what changed. The "What User Did" section displays a clear human-readable summary — for example, Payment Terms changed: "30 Days" → "45 Days". The Changed Fields tab then shows the Field, its Technical Name, the Old Value, and the New Value side by side — giving administrators a precise, field-level audit trail for every modification made to any record.

By setting up tracking for the Delete operation, delete a record from the Model selected in the User Log configuration.

Deletions are never silent. When a record is removed, the module logs the User, exact Date & Time, Object, Record Name, and Record ID — preserving the reference even after the record is gone. The "What User Did" section clearly states who performed the deletion, ensuring full accountability for every removed record across your system.

Keep your audit database clean with the built-in Clear Logs wizard. Accessible only to administrators, it offers flexible filtering options before deletion:

• Full Log — wipe all log entries at once with a single checkbox
• To Date — remove only entries older than a specified date
• Operation Type — selectively clear by Read, Write, Create, or Delete type
• Object — limit clearing to logs of a specific model only

This gives administrators full control over log retention without ever touching records that still matter.
