Read Only User Restriction

The Read-Only Access Control (Global & Model-Wise) module provides a powerful and centralized solution to control edit permissions across the Odoo system. Designed to extend Odoo’s native access control framework, this module allows administrators to enforce read-only access either globally across all modules or selectively per model, based on user-wise and company-wise rules—without modifying core code.

This module enables administrators to completely prevent record creation, modification, deletion, duplication, archiving, and unarchiving while still allowing users to view data safely. With Global Read-Only, users can be locked into a view-only mode across the entire system. With Model-Wise Read-Only, administrators can selectively enforce read-only behavior on specific models while allowing normal access on others.

Restrictions can be applied per user or per company, making the module ideal for auditors, trainees, external users, compliance scenarios, and production safety. By enforcing read-only access at the UI level, organizations can prevent accidental changes and ensure data integrity without altering underlying security rules.

The module integrates seamlessly with Odoo’s interface and access flow, enforcing read-only behavior consistently across all modules, views, and screens. All configurations are managed from a centralized and easy-to-use interface, reducing administrative complexity and setup time.

With full support for company environments and a lightweight, upgrade-safe implementation, Read-Only Access Control delivers enterprise-grade data protection, helping organizations maintain control, prevent errors, and ensure secure system usage.
