Understanding Odoo Security Fundamentals

Overview

Odoo security uses a layered model combining user roles, access rights, record rules, and groups. Proper configuration is critical to prevent data exposure, operational errors, and compliance risk.

Purpose & Use Case

Security configuration is used to control who can see and edit data, prevent unauthorized actions, segregate duties across teams, and protect sensitive financial and customer information.

Key Principle

Security should be designed intentionally, not retrofitted after issues arise.
