What this module does
User Field Visibility Control lets administrators hide any field on any model for a specific user, across every view type including form, list, and kanban. Configuration takes seconds: open the user record, go to the Hidden Fields tab, pick a model, select one or more fields, and save.
Without this module, hiding fields for individual users requires writing custom view overrides per role or per user, which is fragile and hard to maintain. This module makes it a single admin action with no code and no module updates needed.

🔒
Per-User Field Control
Hide any field on any model for a specific user. Rules are independent per user and stack without conflict. |
👁
Works Across All Views
One rule hides the field in form, list, and kanban views. No separate configuration per view type needed. |
⚙
Admin-Only Interface
The Hidden Fields tab is visible only to System Administrators. End users never see the configuration. |
|
🏷 Multi-Field Selection
Pick multiple fields per model in one row using tag-style input. No need to add a separate row for each field. |
⚡ Instant Effect
Changes apply on the user's next page load. No server restart or cache clearing needed. |
|
📦 Base Only Dependency
Depends only on the base module. Works on Community and Enterprise with no extra installs. |
🛡 Safe Bootstrap
Built-in guard prevents any processing loop on meta-models during installation or upgrade. |

Frequently asked questions
User Field Visibility Control hides chosen fields per user across all Odoo views, with no custom code.
Yes, you configure visibility per user and the field is hidden across every view for that user.
No, it is configuration-only.
No. It only controls what each user sees in the views. The records and their values stay intact, so hidden fields such as cost, margin or salary are simply kept out of view for the chosen users without altering any data.
Configuration is done by an administrator, who chooses which fields to hide for which users. Once set, the visibility is enforced automatically everywhere those fields appear, so you do not have to touch individual views or user profiles again.
Yes. It layers on top of standard Odoo views without custom code, so it runs on both Community and Enterprise. The Odoo Apps Store listing shows the exact version each branch supports.
