The problem
Onboarding one user means ticking a dozen group checkboxes, and hiding one menu means editing security groups.
Nobody can tell who changed whose rights last month.
Who it is for
- Administrators onboarding many users
- Franchises and groups with standard roles per branch
- Companies that give auditors read-only access
What it does
Access profiles
Named roles that bundle groups, applied or revoked for many users at once, with a preview of the effective groups.
Menu rules
Pick menus and users; those menus disappear for them, using Odoo's own menu-visibility mechanism.
Read-only users
One checkbox blocks every create, update and delete, with an option to keep chatter posting.
Permission audit log
Every group change on every user is recorded append-only: who, what, when and through which profile.
Admin-safe
Administrators are never affected and cannot be flagged read-only, so you cannot lock yourself out.

Questions buyers ask
What is the difference between the store and the setup package?
The store sells the licence only and you install it. The package is the same licence at the same price plus installation, configuration and 30 days of support by EHC, invoiced by EHC.
Can I lock myself out?
No. A hard constraint prevents flagging an administrator as read-only, and menu rules never apply to administrators.
Does hiding a menu create new groups?
No. It uses Odoo's supported menu-visibility mechanism; archive the rule and the menu is back.
Can audit entries be edited?
No. Entries are append-only; only system administrators can read or delete them.
Does it change my existing groups?
No. No existing group, menu or user record is modified destructively, and uninstall restores stock behaviour.
Can a read-only user still comment?
Yes, if you turn on the option that keeps chatter posting.
