Where can I configure groups like "stock.group_stock_user" with Open ERP?

Question

There are several groups for view interface of Open ERP. (groups="base.group_user", "stock.group_stock_user" etc).

It seems I can create own custom one. But, where can I create and modify manage them? How can I configure which ERP users belong to this group?

Answer 1

Groups is the key role in Odoo (formally OpenERP) Security based on the user security group is the major role for implement any module for specifically user access.

How to create the Group and update with the existing group in OpenERP :

I am just updating the existing security Group from Fleet Module in OpenERP

<openerp>
    <data noupdate="0">
       <record id="fleet.group_fleet_user" model="res.groups">
            <field name="name">Staff User</field>
            <field name="category_id" ref="fleet.module_fleet_category"/>
       </record>
       <record id="group_fleet_line_manager" model="res.groups">
            <field name="name">Line Manager</field>
            <field name="category_id" ref="fleet.module_fleet_category"/>
             <field name="implied_ids" eval="[(4, ref('fleet.group_fleet_user'))]"/>
        </record>
        <record id="fleet.group_fleet_manager" model="res.groups">
            <field name="name">Manager</field>
            <field name="implied_ids" eval="[(4, ref('group_fleet_line_manager'))]"/>
            <field name="category_id" ref="fleet.module_fleet_category"/>
            <field name="users" eval="[(4, ref('base.user_root'))]"/>
        </record>
    </data>
</openerp>

id and model are the key attribute while creating the user level security based on Group of record tag in OpenERP

id is the uniquely identify each group record

model which is used to create the group based on group name into the database table

Group 1:

id="fleet.group_fleet_user"

which is update the existing group name from the fleet module

Group 2:

id="group_fleet_line_manager"

Which is used to create new group for fleet and add that group between two groups from the group selection from the user security in user form view.

Group 3:

id="fleet.group_fleet_manager"

which is update the existing group name from the fleet module.

you can add the users from the Security Group in following Way :

I hope this should helpful for you :)
