Simplify Access Management — Centralized permission control dashboard

What Is Simplify Access Management?

Simplify Access Management replaces the scattered, complex security configuration in standard Odoo with a single, unified dashboard for controlling exactly who can see, edit, create, or delete any menu, model, field, button, or tab in your system. It gives non-technical administrators the power to enforce enterprise-grade access policies across the entire Odoo instance without touching code or XML files.

How Simplify Access Management Solves Permission Challenges

Problem

Zehntech Solution

Complexity overload with scattered settings

One unified dashboard for all restrictions

Requires developer expertise for permissions

No-code visual administration interface

Security gaps from misconfiguration

Clear, auditable access rules

No field-level visibility control

Granular field restrictions per user/group

Buttons and tabs visible to all users

Point-and-click button/tab hiding

No chatter/messaging restrictions

Full chatter control per user/group

Per-module configuration only

Organization-wide cascading policies

Hours/days to configure permissions

Minutes with admin self-service

Core Features

Hide or restrict access to any top-level menu or nested submenu based on users or user groups. Entire application sections become invisible to unauthorized personnel.

Why it matters: Prevents information overload and keeps users focused on their responsibilities.

Model-Level CRUD Permissions

Define granular Create, Read, Write, and Delete permissions at the model level. Additionally restrict Import, Export, and Reporting capabilities per model.

Why it matters: Toggle CRUD and data operations with checkboxes, reducing misconfiguration risk by 90%.

Field-Level Access Control

Control visibility and editability of individual fields with conditional rules based on user roles and context. Make fields invisible, read-only, or required.

Why it matters: Protects sensitive data points without needing separate views or custom development.

Button & Tab Restrictions

Hide action buttons and notebook tabs that are irrelevant or dangerous for specific user roles. Remove the "Confirm" button from junior staff or hide sensitive tabs.

Why it matters: Reduces operational errors by removing actions users should not perform.

Chatter Management Controls

Restrict messaging, internal note logging, and activity scheduling capabilities within the chatter widget. Control who can communicate on specific records.

Why it matters: Maintains communication discipline and prevents unauthorized activity triggering.

Global Access Configuration

Set organization-wide access policies that cascade across all modules simultaneously. Define baseline restrictions that apply to every user, then layer role-specific permissions.

Why it matters: Ensures consistent security posture across your entire Odoo deployment.

Simplify Access Management — FAQ illustration

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Simplify Access Management is designed for non-technical administrators. All configurations are done through a visual interface with dropdowns, checkboxes, and selection fields. No XML editing, Python coding, or domain expressions are required.

The module works as an additional layer on top of existing Odoo security configurations. Your current access rights, groups, and record rules remain intact. Restrictions defined in this module are applied in addition to native permissions, never overriding them.

You can configure restrictions for both individual users and entire user groups. This flexibility allows you to handle exceptions (e.g., a specific manager needing extra access) without creating new security groups.

Yes, Simplify Access Management is fully compatible with both Odoo Community and Enterprise editions. It supports Odoo Online, Odoo.sh, and On-Premise deployments across versions 16, 17, and 18.

Zehntech provides lifetime free updates with your one-time purchase. When you upgrade your Odoo instance, an updated version of the module will be available at no extra cost. Your access configurations are preserved during standard upgrade procedures.
