Key Features

Block Create, Edit, Delete, and Duplicate per user on any model with one simple tab on the user form

Restrict Create & Duplicate

Stop chosen users from creating new records or duplicating existing ones on any model you pick.

Restrict Edit

Make any model effectively read only for a specific user when you take away their edit permission.

Restrict Delete

Remove the ability to delete records on any model you pick, so critical data stays safe.

Buttons hidden in the UI

The matching New, Edit, Delete, and Duplicate buttons are hidden in form, list, and kanban views.

Server-side enforcement

The restriction also runs in the background, so the action is blocked even if a user tries another route.

Works on every model

Restrict any Odoo model: Products, Transfers, Sales Orders, Contacts, Invoices, and more, all from one place.

Per-user configuration

A dedicated Action Permissions tab on every user form lets you pick the restricted models in one place.

Administrator always safe

Administrators are never restricted by any rule, so you can always manage settings and recover any configuration.

No code, no dependencies

Depends only on the standard base module. No technical knowledge or third-party modules are required.

User guide

Install the module, open a user form, and pick which models the user cannot create, edit, delete, or duplicate. Restrictions apply to the UI and the backend together.

1. Install the module

  1. Open Apps, remove the Apps filter, and search Restrict Create, Edit, Delete, Duplicate For Users.
  2. Click Install. The module depends only on the standard base module.

2. Open the user form

  1. Go to Settings > Users and Companies > Users.
  2. Open the user you want to restrict.
  3. Click the Action Permissions tab.

3. Pick the restricted models

  1. In Restrict Create or Duplicate, add the models the user must not create or duplicate.
  2. In Restrict Edit, add the models the user must not edit; those models become read only.
  3. In Restrict Delete, add the models the user must not delete.
  4. Click Save.

4. Verify as the restricted user

  1. Log in as the restricted user.
  2. Open one of the restricted screens.
  3. The matching New, Edit, Delete, and Duplicate buttons are hidden and the action is blocked.

5. Coverage & safety

  • Restrictions are enforced server-side, so users cannot bypass them through another interface.
  • Administrators are never restricted, ensuring you can always reach the configuration.
  • The same rules apply uniformly to form, list, and kanban views.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Which actions can be restricted?
Create, Duplicate, Edit, and Delete. Each is configured per user against the models you choose.
2. Where do I configure the restrictions?
Open Settings > Users and Companies > Users, open a user, and use the Action Permissions tab. Pick the models to add under Restrict Create or Duplicate, Restrict Edit, and Restrict Delete.
3. Does it work on any Odoo model?
Yes. Products, Transfers, Sales Orders, Contacts, Invoices, and any other Odoo model can be picked in the relevant field on the user form.
4. Are the restrictions enforced only in the UI?
No. The matching buttons are hidden in the UI and the action is blocked server-side, so the operation is rejected even when triggered through another route.
5. Will it affect administrators?
No. Administrators are never restricted, so you can always reach the settings and recover any configuration if needed.
6. Are there any third-party dependencies?
No. The module depends only on the standard base module shipped with Odoo and works on Community and Enterprise editions out of the box.
