1.4.2 Departments

Let’s say your company is divided by departments, and each department is responsible for different kind of job in the company, and each department works at a different floor in the company’s building. So you want each employee, who works at a particular department, to have access only to the entrance of the building and entrance to the floor to which his department works. So now we will show how to manage department access groups, and how to add each of the company employees to that group.

If you don’t have RFID Access App installed, click here

1. Go to your Odoo page, and login. (make sure you have odoo)

If you have any problems during the installation of odoo, you can get help from the users in odoo’s forum, or in stackoverflow.

2. Click on the menu (at the top left corner), and choose Employee from the menu.

3. There are three options next to the Employees logo - Employees, Departments, and Configuration.

4. Click on Departments. Here you can create(manually or importing with a file) departments of the company.

5. Let’s say you want to manage the access of the Administration department. Click on the top right corner of the department, and choose Settings.

6. There are 4 options for managing the access groups of that department.

• Add one or more access groups; (1. Add Access Groups)

• Remove one or more access groups; (2. Remove Access Groups)

• Change the default access group; (3. Change the default access group)

• Remove the default access group; (4. Remove default access group)

What is the difference between adding access group and changing the default access group?

When adding an employee to some department, that employee gets the default access group of the department (each department has its own access group). If you want to add the employee to some other access group, you need to choose the option Add Access groups from the employee’s page (check below in Employee Access Group)).

1.4.3 Owner

If each department (or almost each) in your company has a manager(or managers), you can give him (them) privilege, for each new employee of the department, to give access to that employee, to the building and department’s floor.
