Odoo 15 Development Essentials - Fifth Edition

4.5 (2)

Overview of this book

Odoo is fast becoming the reference open source platform for business applications thanks to the fact that it provides the infrastructure needed for developers to deliver software solutions for any business process quickly. Odoo's layered module approach makes it particularly effective for combining and extending features. This updated fifth edition is a tutorial-style introduction to essential Odoo development topics. The book starts by covering the development essentials for building business applications and takes you through Odoo installation and configuration, gradually transitioning from having no specific knowledge of Odoo to being ready for application development. You'll then learn how to develop your first Odoo application, while covering topics such as models and views. Later chapters will get you up to speed with using server APIs to add business logic, helping you lay a solid foundation for advanced topics. As you progress, you’ll get equipped to build and customize your applications and explore the new features available in Odoo 12 and beyond, such as in-memory ORM and computed writable fields. Finally, you’ll gain insights into building business logic and using the Odoo API to integrate with various applications. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build business apps from scratch using the latest version of Odoo.

Step 5 – Setting up access security

The library.book model was created as the database, but you might have noticed that when it is loaded, it prints this warning message to the server log:

 The model library.book has no access rules, consider adding one. 

The message is pretty clear—the new model has no access rules, and so it can't be used by anyone yet. Earlier, we created the security groups for this app, and we now need to give them access to the app's models.

Changes in Odoo 12

The admin user follows access security rules, just as with any other user, except for the root-like internal superuser. We need to grant it access to new models before it can use them. This was not the case up to Odoo 11. In these earlier Odoo versions, the admin user was also the internal superuser and bypassed access security rules. This means that newly created models were automatically available and usable to it.
