Set up new users' access in seconds not in 20 minutes
Copy Access Of Other User replicates a trusted user's or role template's security groups onto one or more new users, with a live preview, conflict warnings, and a full audit log so every access change is safe, selective and provable.
The problem
Setting up a new employee's access in Odoo means manually toggling dozens of security-group checkboxes across every module — a slow, repetitive, error-prone process that typically takes 15 to 20 minutes per person and offers no way to confirm the result is correct or to prove later who changed what.
The solution
Copy Access Of Other User lets an administrator pick a known-good user or a reusable role template, choose one or many target users, preview exactly what will change, and apply it in seconds — with Administrator rights automatically protected and every copy recorded in a searchable audit log.
Everything a trustworthy copy needs
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Copy From A User Or Template
Copy security groups from an existing, known-good user, or from a named, reusable role template — whichever source fits the onboarding at hand.
Apply To Multiple Targets At Once
Select one or many target users in a single operation, including a bulk action right from the Users list, so onboarding waves are handled together instead of one user at a time.
Reusable Role Template Library
Create, edit and archive named role templates (Sales Rep, Accountant, Manager and more) with a full form, so standard roles are one selection away instead of hunting for a reference user.
Selective, Partial Copy
Copy the full group set or uncheck individual groups to copy only a subset — access assignment is never forced into an all-or-nothing operation.
Live Preview Before You Apply
See exactly which groups will be added, removed or left unchanged for every target user, color-coded and grouped by category, before a single change is committed.
Add Or Mirror Mode
Choose Add to only grant missing groups, or Mirror to also remove groups the target has that the source does not — without ever touching protected Administrator rights.
Conflict And Multi-Company Warnings
The preview flags mutually exclusive group combinations and multi-company mismatches before you apply, so a successful copy is also a correct one.
Administrator Rights Protected
Settings and Access Rights administrator groups are never copied. An in-app banner explains the restriction and lists exactly which groups were excluded, so there is no silent blocker or support ticket.
Full Audit Log
Every copy is recorded with actor, source, mode and a per-target result line — added, removed, skipped or failed — plus chatter, giving security and compliance reviewers a complete, searchable history.
How it works
Choose a source
Pick an existing user whose access is correct, or select a saved role template from the library.
Select targets and mode
Add one or more target users, choose Add or Mirror mode, and optionally uncheck groups to copy a subset.
Review the live preview
Check the color-coded diff of what will change per user, and resolve any conflict or multi-company warnings shown.
Apply and check the log
Click Apply to instantly update every target, then open the audit log entry to confirm exactly what changed and by whom.
Frequently asked

No. Settings (Administrator) and Access Rights groups are deliberately never copied, for security. The wizard explains the restriction in-app rather than failing silently.
