One group edits the catalog. Everyone else just uses it.

Give sales, warehouse, and purchasing teams full use of the product catalog while a designated Full Rights group keeps sole control over creates, edits, and deletes — with category-level grants, storefront visibility rules, and a complete audit trail.

The problem

Anyone with access to Sales, Inventory, or Purchase can rename products, delete variants, or edit attributes in stock Odoo. A rep renames a product mid-quarter, a warehouse user deletes a variant, or an attribute value gets edited and silently corrupts existing variants — data-integrity incidents that are hard to trace and expensive to unwind.

The solution

A designated Full Rights group maintains the catalog; everyone else gets safe read-only access by default. Delegate edit rights by category, hide cost data, hide products from specific customers on the storefront, and keep a full audit trail — all configurable from a guided wizard, no developer mode required.

Capabilities

Everything you need to lock down the catalog

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Full Rights vs. Read-Only by Default

A dedicated Full Rights for Products group can create, edit, and delete product templates, variants, and attributes. Everyone else gets safe, read-only access to the catalog out of the box.

02

Category-Scoped Edit Grants

Delegate edit rights to specific staff for specific product categories — including child categories — without handing them the whole catalog. No grant means read-only.

03

Attribute & Attribute-Value Protection

Product attributes and attribute values are global and easy to corrupt existing variants. Only Full Rights users can create, edit, or delete them.

04

Coherent Menu Navigation

Native product configuration menus — Attributes, Categories — disappear for restricted users instead of leading to dead-end Access Denied clicks.

05

Customer-Facing Storefront Visibility

Hide selected products from customers on the eCommerce shop by partner tag or customer group, so pricing or catalog segments stay private to the right buyers.

06

Hide Cost & Margin

Gate the product cost and margin fields behind a dedicated group, keeping sensitive commercial data out of view for users who do not need it.

07

Per-User Audit Trail

Every create, edit, delete, and denied attempt is logged with the user, product, and timestamp, giving catalog owners a clear trail when something changes unexpectedly.

08

Bulk Access Assignment

Apply Full Rights, category-scoped access, or read-only to any number of users in a single action instead of configuring each user one at a time.

09

Guided Setup Wizard

Walk through common scenarios — lock the whole catalog except a group, or hide products from a customer tag — and apply the right configuration in a couple of clicks.

Workflow

How it works

1

Assign Full Rights

Add your catalog owners to the Full Rights for Products group, or run the guided wizard to lock the catalog except for a chosen group.

2

Delegate by category

Grant specific staff edit access to selected product categories using Access Grants or the bulk assignment wizard.

3

Set visibility rules

Hide sensitive cost data behind a group, and hide selected products from customers by partner tag or customer group on the storefront.

4

Review the audit log

Check the Audit Log any time to see who created, modified, deleted, or was denied access to a product.

No. It layers a turnkey Full Rights group, category-scoped grants, menu hiding, and storefront visibility on top of Odoo’s own security — it only ever narrows access, it never removes your existing configuration.
