I'm currently shopping around for an business solution for our startup (20 employees; could use CRM, invoicing, purchase, calendar, project, employees for now ). Odoo seems interesting, however, I might misunderstand something about it:

Is it correct that Odoo does not do basic roles and permissions (e.g., view, edit, add) out of the box, but needs to be adapted (either through a consultant or own programming)?

For example, I want all users to view contacts but not edit them. Another example, I want to give sales people permissions to create contacts but not edit employee contacts.

PS: When I buy a license for Odoo, is it correct that I have to pay monthly for CRM although the open source version includes CRM for free?

Hi Jacobcullen,

By default Odoo has the ability to set read, write, create and delete rights on any model, view, field or group in Odoo. You can solve this functionally by creating your own security groups and security rules under Settings > Technical > Security (after activating developer mode). There is some minor (rather technical) documentation about security at https://www.odoo.com/documentation/12.0/reference/security.html but everything you describe is possible out of the box.

P.S: If you buy enterprise licenses you do need to buy the apps that you wish to use. When you buy the CRM app you'll have more features than in the community version so yes you'll need to buy it.

Regards,
Yenthe
