Chatter Access Rights

By default, Odoo allows any user to edit or delete their own chatter messages. Chatter Access Rights replaces that loose default with a deliberate, group-based policy you fully control - enforced at both the ORM level and the UI level.

Once installed, editing and deleting log notes is gated by two dedicated security groups. Users without a group lose those capabilities entirely - even for messages they authored. Perfect for businesses that treat the chatter as an audit-friendly record where posted notes are permanent unless a designated manager intervenes.

Key features

• Server-side ORM enforcement
  Access is checked at the ORM level - no UI bypass possible, even via the API.
• Frontend UI patch
  Edit and Delete buttons are hidden in the chatter for users without the right group. Clean UX - no confusing disabled buttons, no error messages.
• Works on every model
  Applies globally. No per-model configuration needed.
• Clean install & uninstall
  No monkey-patching of core data. Only two security group records are added to your database - nothing else touches existing data.
