I developped custom modules that inherit from existing modules (accountig, hr, etc..) and by installing those modules, their menus appear. so I would like to hide those menus (Accounting, Human resources) from the users with keeping the rights for the users on those modules, is it possible ? how can i do it ?

You can hide a menu using the groups in .xml:

   first create a new folder inside of your module name it as SECURITY then inside of it create and .xml file and put this one

    <record id="make_invisible" model="res.groups">

        <field name="name">Invisible</field>

    </record>

and then put the name of this .xml file in your

     _openerp_.py ->'update_xml' : ['Security/module_name.xml','module_contains_menus.xml']

after that in your menuitems add groups equals the id of your created xml file like this:
      

<menuitem name="menu1"
            id="base.menu_root"
            groups="make_invisible"
            sequence="80"/>

 

I hope this one will help.

Hello Everyone

Suppose i want to hide CRM menu so what i done. See the Code

1) create one file in security folder [security/security.xml​]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<odoo>
    <data noupdate="0">

<record id="make_invisible" model="res.groups">
    <field name="name">Show Crm Menu</field>
</record>
<record model="ir.ui.menu" id="crm.crm_menu_root">
    <field name="groups_id" eval="[(5,ref('make_invisible'))]"/>
</record>

</data>

</odoo>

2) then add menu in your custom created module in xml file 

<menuitem id="crm.crm_menu_root" name="CRM" groups="make_invisible"/>

3) then add the security files in __manifest__.py

'depends': ['base', 'crm'], 
'data': [
    'security/security.xml',
    'security/ir.model.access.csv',
],
'installable': True,
'auto_install': False,
'application': True,

I Hope i will help you

Thanks in Advanced

Add a custom xml file to your custom modules and use the delete tag.

For example for the Human Resource menu item

<delete model="ir.ui.menu" id="hr.menu_hr_root"></delete>

 

Regards.

mohsel asked if it was possible to hide the menu from a selection of people. Your solution permanently hides the menuitem from everyone, which is fine is most cases, but I think not in the case of the ts.

René Schuster

Maybe it's due to my english, but I think he wants the official menues to be hidden, while only his own menues are visible. Anyway, you are right, delete will permanently remove the menu items, not hide them.

Thanks René and Ludo, your are both right, in fact i will try to hide the menus, if it doesn't work, i will use René's proposition to delete them, i"ll just gonna have to be able te reinstall them

Yes this is possible. If you made the custom XML's with the <menuitem> tags as well, just add the the groups-attribute to that tag, like so:

<menuitem id="myitem" groups="hr.hr_manager"/>

This way, only users that belong to the hr_manager group defined in the HR module will be able to see the menu. 

You can alternatively also add your own groups in your module. The syntax would not differ much, but you would not point to the original HR module for the group name.
