Users Journals Restriction
Enforce clean segregation of duties by restricting access to accounting journals per user. Fully multi-company compatible, zero-configuration by default.
Opt-in Security
Journals with no allowed users remain public. Restrict specific sensitive journals (like bank, cash, or payroll) only when needed.
Admin-Only Settings
The "Allowed Users" configuration is locked to ERP Managers only, preventing standard users from modifying access control.
Strict Enforcement
Hides journals from dashboards and menus, backed by clean server-side python constraints to prevent database-level bypasses.
How It Works
Manage and enforce strict access control rules directly from the Journal configuration page in two simple steps:
Define Allowed Users on a Journal
Open any Journal Form (e.g. Bank Journal) under Accounting -> Configuration -> Journals. Under the **Advanced Settings** tab, configure the specific users who should have access.
Access Enforced for Non-Listed Users
Any normal user who is not explicitly added to the list will no longer see this journal on the dashboard or selection fields, and is blocked from posting entries to it.
Note: A detailed, print-ready PDF user guide (README.pdf) is included directly inside the module root folder to assist database administrators with configuration details.
Access Matrix Summary
| Journal Type | Condition | Access for ERP Managers | Access for Normal Users |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public Journal | "Allowed Users" is left empty | Allowed | Allowed |
| Restricted Journal | User is in the "Allowed Users" list | Allowed | Allowed |
| Restricted Journal | User is NOT in the "Allowed Users" list | Allowed (Bypassed) | Blocked |
