Odoo `sudo` correct log

I am having problem using sudo in Odoo version 11. Checking doc, I think the same problem exists in version 12. Using sudo generate log with wrong(?) user. For e.g. I override confirm_sale to use sudo.

from odoo import api, fields, models


class SaleOrder(models.Model):
    _inherit = 'sale.order'

    def action_confirm(self):
        return super(SaleOrder, self.sudo()).action_confirm()

Then let say when "Sale User" confirm sale order, log is shown as if "Administrator" approved sale order. Information is lost on who really confirmed sale order.

enter image description here

Question: So, my question is I want to use sudo but still record correctly who made changes.

Clarification/Use Case: Removing sudo and adding necessary permissions for user can solve the problem. But my very often use case is one group of users can only create/edit data and one or more groups can only confirm/approve data without edit permission. So, sudo is necessary.

Solution

  • You can use this OCA module https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/11.0/base_suspend_security/

    Just install the module and use suspend_security() instead of sudo(), it will bypass access rights but keep the current user on log
