Keep your administrator accounts invisible to everyone else
Hide privileged user accounts from non-admins across every list, selection field, report and export — with direct-URL blocking and a full audit trail, so client admins never stumble onto your root account.
The problem
Give a client admin or general staff access to user-management screens and you also expose your platform's real super-administrator and IT accounts. Non-privileged users can see, select and even try to open these privileged records — blurring who actually owns the system and inviting accidental or malicious targeting of the accounts that matter most.
The solution
Cerevantix hides administrator and other privileged accounts from every list, selection field, search, group-by, export, report and follower picker — while direct-URL or RPC attempts are blocked with a friendly message and logged. Role-based rules, a guided wizard and safe zero-config defaults mean protection starts the moment you install.
Everything you need to keep privileged accounts private
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
System-Wide Hiding
Administrator and other privileged accounts are hidden from non-admin users everywhere — list views, Many2One and Many2Many selection fields, search filters, group-by, exports, printed reports, activity assignment pickers and follower/chatter pickers.
Full Visibility for Admins
Members of the bypass group and system administrators keep seeing and managing every user record, exactly as before — the module never changes who can administer the system.
Direct-URL & RPC Blocking
A deliberate attempt to open a hidden user by direct link or RPC call is blocked with a friendly, non-alarming message instead of a raw permission error.
Audit Trail of Access Attempts
Every blocked attempt to reach a hidden administrator is recorded in an access log with who tried, which account they targeted, and when — giving IT full visibility into probing or misconfiguration.
Role-Based Visibility Rules
Define exactly which roles or groups are hidden from which viewers using configurable rules, supporting service-provider, client-admin and general-staff tiers in the same database.
Guided Setup Wizard
A step-by-step wizard walks administrators through choosing which roles or specific users to hide and from whom, turning role-based visibility into an approachable, no-guesswork setup flow.
Visibility Badge for Admins
An admin-only badge on the Users list and form shows at a glance whether each account is currently visible or hidden, confirming the rules are working as intended.
Safe Zero-Config Defaults
A default rule ships on install that hides system administrators from standard internal users immediately, no configuration required, while advanced role rules remain available whenever you need them.
No Changes to Odoo Security
Hiding is layered on top of your existing access rights and permissions without altering them — installing or removing the module never destabilizes your underlying security model.
How it works
Install & Protect
Install the module and the default rule immediately hides system administrators from standard internal users — no configuration required.
Configure Roles
Open the guided wizard to define exactly which roles or specific users should be hidden, and from which viewer groups.
Review the Rule
Each rule previews how many users it will hide before you save, so you can confirm the scope is exactly what you intended.
Monitor the Audit Log
Check the access log any time to see who attempted to open a hidden administrator account, and when, closing the loop on visibility.
Frequently asked
No sales fog. If your question isn't here, email us and we'll answer it the same way.
No. The module layers visibility rules on top of your existing security model without modifying it. Installing or removing it never changes who can log in or what they are otherwise allowed to do.
