Get in Touch
Read-Only Auditor Users
Spin up a backend user that can see everything but change nothing
Key Features
System-Wide Read Access
The auditor can read every model in the system, so nothing you
need to review is out of reach.
No Changes, Guaranteed
Create, write and delete are blocked at the ACL layer — which
also disables form-view buttons and server actions.
Menu-Scoped Visibility
The user only sees the menus you explicitly grant. Parent menus
are granted automatically so every choice stays reachable.
Quick-Create Wizard
A dedicated wizard lets you provision an auditor — name, login,
companies and menus — in seconds.
Why It's Safe
Enforced where it counts, not just hidden in the UI
Read-only is enforced at the access-control layer rather than by hiding buttons. That means the restriction holds everywhere:
- Forms & lists — records open but cannot be edited or created
- Action buttons — server actions that would write are blocked
- Imports & API — the same limits apply to XML-RPC / web calls
How It Works
Provision an external auditor in seconds
Go to Settings > Users & Companies > Read-Only Auditors and open the quick-create wizard. Enter the auditor's name and login, pick the allowed companies, and select the specific menus they should see (for example a single accounting report). On save, the user is created with the read-only group applied and the chosen menus — along with their parents — granted automatically.
