Role-Based Access Control
Role-based access control assigns permissions through roles or groups reflecting responsibilities.
Definition
In general ERP practice
Role-based access control assigns permissions through roles or groups reflecting responsibilities. It distinguishes allowed operations from access to particular records.
In Odoo
Odoo assigns users to groups with model access rights and record rules. Model rights are additive, and record rules constrain accessible records; review the combined result, including company access, rather than assuming a group name alone describes effective permissions.
