Commodity Canvas
The Commodity Canvas module is the lightweight foundation of the Grevlin Commodity Procurement Suite. It provides the top-level Commodity menu and three centralized security groups consumed by every sibling commodity module.
Overview
Canvas carries no models and no business logic. It exists solely to establish the menu entry point and access-control framework that the rest of the commodity module family depends on.
Key Capabilities
- Root Menu -- top-level "Commodity" entry in the Odoo main navigation bar, with a Configuration sub-menu.
- Module Category -- Commodity Procurement category registered in :menuselection:`Settings --> Users & Companies --> Groups` for access-right assignment.
- Security Groups -- three-tier hierarchy (User, Officer, Manager) with res.groups.privilege integration.
- Zero Dependencies -- depends only on base, making it the thinnest possible foundation module.
Note
This is a pure scaffolding module. All commodity master data, workflows, and business logic are provided by sibling modules (commodity_base, commodity_supplier, commodity_contract, etc.).
Configuration
Installation
- Add the module directory to your Odoo addons path.
- Go to :menuselection:`Apps` and search for Commodity Canvas.
- Click :guilabel:`Install`.
The Commodity menu and security groups are created automatically on installation.
Assigning Security Groups
- Go to :menuselection:`Settings --> Users & Companies --> Users`.
- Open the user record you want to configure.
- In the :guilabel:`Commodity Procurement` section, select the
appropriate access level:
- :guilabel:`Commodity User` -- view-only access.
- :guilabel:`Commodity Officer` -- create and edit access.
- :guilabel:`Commodity Manager` -- full CRUD including delete.
- Click :guilabel:`Save`.
Tip
Assign access levels here once. Every commodity module you install later will inherit these groups automatically -- no per-module configuration is needed.
Security Groups
The module defines three groups under the Commodity Procurement module category. All other commodity modules reference these groups; they do not define their own.
Commodity User (group_commodity_user)
- Read-only access to all commodity data.
- Cannot create or edit records.
Commodity Officer (group_commodity_officer)
- Create and edit commodity records.
- Cannot delete records.
- Inherits Commodity User permissions.
Commodity Manager (group_commodity_manager)
- Full CRUD including delete on all commodity models.
- Can manage security-sensitive configuration.
- Inherits Commodity Officer permissions.
Technical Details
Dependencies
- base -- core Odoo framework (the only dependency).

Important
This module defines no Python models and no ir.model.access.csv. Access rules for commodity data are provided by the modules that define those models (e.g. commodity_base).
