Hide External Field Link
The
Hide External Field Link module provides a secure
and centralized solution to control the visibility of external link (→)
icons across the Odoo interface. Designed to extend Odoo’s native access and
security framework, this module allows administrators to hide or restrict
external link access based on model-wise, field-wise, user-wise, and
company-wise rules—without modifying core code.
This module enables precise control over external navigation links commonly
available on Many2one fields, smart links, and relational fields. By hiding the
external link (→) icon, administrators can prevent users from navigating to related
records, ensuring users remain focused on their assigned workflows and cannot access
data beyond their permitted scope.
Restrictions can be applied per model, per field, per user, or per company, making
the module ideal for organizations that require strict data access boundaries,
role-based navigation control, or simplified user interfaces. This
is especially useful in scenarios where users should select related records but should not view or
edit them.
The module integrates seamlessly with Odoo’s interface and security flow, enforcing
external link restrictions consistently across all modules and applications. All
configurations are managed from a centralized, user-friendly interface, reducing
administrative effort while maintaining full control.
With complete support for company environments and a lightweight,
upgrade-safe implementation, Hide External Field Link Control delivers
enterprise-grade navigation security, helping
organizations protect sensitive data, prevent unauthorized record access, and maintain a clean,
controlled user experience.
