How to Generate Access Control Reports:
- Install the xf_user_access_report module
- Navigate to Settings > Security > Access Controls Report
- Choose report scope: All Applications or select specific applications
- Select output format: Single page or Paginate by Application
- Click "Download" to generate and export the Excel report
How It Works:
The Access Controls Report module scans all Odoo user groups, their associated permissions, and inheritance relationships across every model in your system. It compiles this information into a structured Excel report that clearly displays:
- Application Categories - Organized by Odoo modules
- Model Information - Technical and display names of all Odoo models
- User Groups - All defined security groups in the system
- Permission Matrix - Create, Read, Update, Delete rights for each group-model combination
- Inheritance Relationships - Shows which permissions are inherited from other groups
The report is invaluable for security audits, compliance requirements, permission troubleshooting, and documenting your Odoo security configuration.
Common Use Cases:
Security Audits
Quickly document all user permissions for internal or external security reviews. Identify potential permission gaps or excessive privileges.
Compliance Documentation
Generate evidence for SOX, GDPR, or other regulatory compliance requirements showing proper access controls and segregation of duties.
Permission Troubleshooting
Diagnose user access issues by examining the complete permission hierarchy and inheritance relationships across all groups.
System Documentation
Maintain up-to-date documentation of your Odoo security configuration for training, onboarding, and system handovers.
Technical Implementation:
The module extends Odoo's standard security framework with:
- Custom wizard interface for report configuration
- Advanced group inheritance computation using transitive closure
- Efficient data collection from Odoo's permission system
- Excel generation using Odoo's built-in xlsxwriter library
