User wise Discuss Access Control | Hide Chat, Messaging & Discuss App

Take full control over internal communication by restricting access to the Discuss module, chat messaging, and notification pop-ups on a per-user basis.
By default, Odoo allows all internal users to access the Discuss application, which can lead to unnecessary distractions, excessive communication, and reduced productivity. This module solves that problem by introducing a smart user-level control system that enables administrators to allow or restrict access to chat and messaging features.
With a simple checkbox on the user form, you can decide who can use the Discuss app, see the messaging icon, and receive chat pop-ups. The module ensures a cleaner interface for restricted users while maintaining seamless communication for authorized team members.

It is ideal for organizations that want to improve focus, enforce communication policies, and provide a distraction-free working environment for specific roles like accounting, warehouse, or operations teams.
The module integrates smoothly with the existing system without overriding core functionality, ensuring stability and compatibility.

1. Discuss and Chat - With Access.

Once the module is installed navigate to Setting -> Users and Companies -> Users
There, you will find the 'Discuss Access' option. If this access is not assigned to a user, they will not be able to use the Discuss app or chat features.

2. Discuss and Chat - Without Access.

Here, you can see that the 'Discuss' app and 'Chat' option are not visible because the user has not been granted access to Discuss.

3. Another Way Configuration.

You can also configure Discuss access from the User Preferences tab. There, you will find the 'Discuss' section, which includes an option to enable discussions. By toggling this setting on, you can grant access.
