Permission Matrix
Permissions like a spreadsheet. Preview, apply, roll back.
What it does
Configure field, model and record permissions in a spreadsheet-like matrix, preview the effect per user, diff and roll back every change.
- Matrix grid: models as rows, roles as columns, hidden/read/write/full cells
- Writes standard access records (19.0 ACL + ir.rule, 20.0 ir.access with domains)
- Per-user preview of visible fields and record scope before applying
- Mandatory diff before apply: additions, changes and deletions
- Snapshot and one-click rollback of any previous application
- Standard fields are reported instead of silently changed, preventing lockout
- Consistency check for conflicting manual rules and missing ACLs
- Excel export for review and sign-off
Inside the module
Everything is stored in standard Odoo models, so data stays queryable and exportable.
