Yes, Odoo supports this kind of access restriction, but it requires the use of record rules and security groups, not just filters.

Restrict access so that users in a department (e.g. Finance) can only see products or purchase categories relevant to them — for example, only products in the "Finance" category.

How to do it (technical overview):

1. Create a security group per department (if not already existing):

Go to Settings → Users & Companies → Groups

• Create group: e.g., Finance Access
• Assign it to finance users

2. Tag or classify your products/categories:

Use a custom field or existing category to mark records as "Finance", "IT", etc.

• Example: Add a Many2one field on product.template called department_id that links to a Department model
• Or use existing categ_id (Product Category) and name them accordingly

3. Define a record rule:

Go to Settings → Technical → Security → Record Rules

Create a rule for the group Finance Access, and apply it to product.template or product.category.

✅ Example domain:

python
CopyEdit
[('categ_id.name', 'ilike', 'Finance')]

Or if you added a department_id field:

python
CopyEdit
[('department_id.name', '=', 'Finance')]

• Apply to Read, Write, Create, Delete as needed.
• Scope: product.template, purchase.order, etc.

Hope this will help you!

Yes, you can do this in Odoo using Record Rules and Security Groups, not just filters.

✅ Steps:

1. Create a security group for the department (e.g., Finance).
2. Assign users from that department to the group.
3. Create a record rule on product.category like:

   python
   CopiarEditar
   [('name', 'ilike', 'Finance')]
   

   Or use a custom field like allowed_group_ids if needed.
4. Apply the rule only to the Finance group.
5. (Optional) Add a similar rule to product.template to restrict products by category.

🔒 This way, Finance users will only see their categories/products, not others — it's a real access restriction, not just a UI filter.
