Odoo 8 : Issue with new security groups

I've created a new group to hide a menu-item, so I did this :

courier.xml :

<menuitem
    id="courier_top_menu"
    name="Courier"
    action="courier_action"
    parent=""
    sequence="100"                     
/>
<record model="ir.ui.menu" id="courier_top_menu">
    <field name="groups_id" eval="[(6,0,[ref('make_courier_invisible')])]"/>
</record>

courier_security.xml :

    <record id="make_courier_invisible" model="res.groups">
        <field name="name">Couriers Management</field>
    </record>

My issue is :

I can assign/remove an admin user to this new group to show/hide the menu, but if I create a simple user and assign him to the group, the menu doesn't appear !

Please what's the mistake in my code ?

Solution

  • I can only guess, but it sounds like the normal users don't have access rights on the model behind your action courier_action. The admin/superuser doesn't need those rights, that's why it's working on him.
