Reusable access templates for every Odoo user
Bundle security groups into named templates, preview exactly what they grant, then apply them to one user or a hundred — with a full audit trail of who got what access and when.
The problem
Odoo's access rights span dozens of overlapping security groups scattered across every installed app. Provisioning a new hire means hand-picking the right combination one checkbox at a time, on every single user — slow, error-prone, and impossible to standardize. There is no way to see what a bundle of groups actually grants before it is applied, and no record of who has what access or why.
The solution
User Groups Template turns bundles of security groups into named, reusable templates. Preview the exact access a template grants before committing it, apply it to one user or many at once, clone a template straight from a user who already has the right access, and get role and department based suggestions — all backed by a full assignment history.
Everything you need to standardize access
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Reusable Group Templates
Bundle any number of security groups into a named template once, then reuse it across every user who needs that role.
See-Before-You-Apply Preview
Review the full effective access a template grants — explicit groups plus everything they imply — before it ever touches a user.
Bulk Apply to Many Users
Select a group of users and apply a template to all of them in one action, turning onboarding waves into a single step.
Clone From an Existing User
Capture a known-good user's current access as a brand new template instead of rebuilding it from raw group checkboxes.
Multiple Templates per User
Compose a user's access from several templates at once — for example Warehouse plus Purchasing Approver — matching how real roles overlap.
Additive or Replace Apply Modes
Applying a template adds to a user's existing access by default and never strips manually granted groups; switch to Replace mode when you need an exact match.
Role and Department Suggestions
The user form surfaces recommended templates based on the person's department and job position, so admins do not need to know the underlying group names.
Full Assignment Audit History
Every template application and every template edit is logged with who, what, and when — reviewable per template or from a dedicated history list.
Apply Straight From the User Form
Assign templates, launch the bulk-apply wizard, or clone a template without leaving the screens admins already work in.
How it works
Define a Template
Bundle the security groups for a role into a named template, or clone one from a user whose access already works.
Preview Effective Access
Check the exact groups — explicit and implied — a template will grant before it touches anyone.
Apply to Users
Assign a template from the user form, or apply it to many selected users at once with the bulk wizard.
Review the History
Check the assignment history to see who applied what template, when, and to whom — for every review or audit.

Security groups still do the work — this app just lets you bundle the groups for a role into a named, reusable template so you never hand-pick the same combination twice. Templates are for standardized, bulk setup; native groups remain available for fine-grained, one-off adjustments.
