Hide Product Cost per User
This module enhances Odoo's access control by allowing administrators to selectively hide product cost prices (standard_price) from specific users. By utilizing a dedicated user group, you can ensure that only authorized personnel can view cost information on product and inventory report views, thereby improving data confidentiality and internal controls.
This module introduces a new security group named "View Product Cost". Users who are NOT part of this group will have the 'Cost' field hidden from their view on product templates, product variants,Lot and serial number and inventory reports.
- Installation: Upon installing the module, the "View Product Cost" group is automatically created. By default, all users (except administrator) will not be part of this group, meaning the cost price will be hidden for them.
-
Granting Access: To allow a user to see the product cost, an administrator needs to:
- Enable developer mode.
- Navigate to Settings > Users & Companies > Users.
- Select the desired user.
- Under the "Access Rights" tab (or similar, depending on Odoo version and other modules), find the application section for this module or the "Other Rights" section.
- Check the box for "View Product Cost".
- Save the changes.
Users in this group will see the 'Cost' field on product forms and in product list views.
