Hide Print & Action Buttons

Enhance UI security and simplify the user interface by hiding sensitive Action and Print menus on a per-user basis.

Key Module Highlights

User-Specific Restrictions
Clean List View Interface
Hide Buttons in Form View
Modern JS Patching Logic
Disable Print Actions
Fully Odoo Compatible

Configuration & Usage Workflow

Step 1
Enable User-Wise Restrictions

Navigate to Settings > Users & Companies > Users. Open the specific user form and go to the Access Rights tab. Under the "Action Restrictions" group, check the "Hide Print & Action Buttons" option to restrict menu visibility for this user.

Configure Hide Print and Action Buttons in Odoo

Pro Tip: This setting is dynamic. Once checked, the user only needs to refresh their browser (or perform a new action) to see the changes applied in List and Form views.

Step 2
Restriction in List (Tree) View

When a restricted user selects multiple records in the List View, the system automatically hides the "Print" and "Actions" dropdown menus. This ensures that restricted users cannot perform bulk actions like Exporting, Deleting, or Printing reports from the dashboard.

Odoo List View Print and Action Menu Restriction

Controlled Actions: Hidden options include Export, Duplicate, Delete, and all report-based Print actions, providing a secure environment for sensitive data.

Step 3
Restriction in Form View

The restriction extends to individual record Form Views. For restricted users, the "Print" and "Action" (gear icon) menus are completely hidden or emptied, preventing individual record duplication, deletion, or report printing.

Odoo Form View Menu Restriction

Seamless Experience: The module automatically detects the user's configuration and patches the Form Controller to ensure a clean, restricted interface across all Odoo models.

Step 4
Restricted List View Actions

In the List View, when a restricted user selects multiple records, the "Print" and "Action" menus are completely removed from the top bar. This prevents unauthorized users from performing bulk exports, mass deletions, or printing multiple reports at once.

Data Security: By hiding these buttons in the Tree view, you ensure that users cannot bypass permissions by selecting all records to export or delete them.

Step 5
Complete Restriction in Form View

The security restriction extends to the individual record Form View. For the assigned users, the "Print" and "Action" buttons are entirely hidden from the breadcrumb area. This prevents users from duplicating, deleting, or generating reports for specific documents like Sales Orders, Invoices, or Quotations.

Odoo Form View Action Buttons Hidden

UI Integrity: The module uses modern JS patching to ensure the layout remains clean and professional even when core buttons are removed.

Key Features & Capabilities

Advanced UI control to manage menu visibility and enhance data security across Odoo views.

Hide "Action" Menu

Prevents users from accessing the Action dropdown, including Delete, Duplicate, and Export options.

List & Form Coverage

Pure JS Patching

Uses Odoo's latest Javascript patching mechanism to hide buttons without altering core XML.

Enhanced UI Security

Minimizes accidental data modifications or exports by hiding high-privilege menu items.
