I have extended hr.expense and created extra approval levels; I have added the relevant user groups and the buttons for approval level workflow.
However; As a normal user with no rights. This error appears when they perform any function like creating an expense or trying to view expense report; "External ID must be fully qualified" AssertionError: External ID must be fully qualified. But as admin, the error is not there.
Here are the groups:

<odoo>
<!-- create relevant groups -->
<!-- supervisor group -->
<record id="group_hr_expense_supervisor" model="res.groups">
