As the title states, how would I be able to create a user in Odoo without it requiring an email address at all?

Nothing special is required: 

  1. Go to the Settings > Users > push the button 'Create'

  2. Indicate in the field 'login' any set of letter instead of an email address

  3. Set a password using the entry 'Action' > 'Change password'

You can try this on the demo environment - http://demo.odoo.com. Already now there is such a user 'demo'.

However, take into account that such user would not be able to do a lot of things (really many!). For example, to send a quotation to a customer. Odoo would raise an error, that sender email address is not set up.

I've tried this but it only works with using demo data which means I've loaded the demo data. Also I've tried all these steps without using demo data but it doesn't work, so my question here is how can I do in order to create user without using an email address without loading demo data ?

Thank you Odoo tools, your answer worked wonders!


Do you know what are the things the user is not able to do without an email address or is it documented anywhere?

I guess, it is low probable that a list of such actions is documented somewhere. The principle is simple: in case any email is sent, Odoo check the sender address. There are quite many situations in various modules where such check takes place. I think the only way to reveal those is to experiment on your database with your set of apps.

P.S. please accept the initial answer

Thank you, I've already started experimenting and have seen that it has a lot of limits. I'll see what I can do with it.

Also, would you know if I could create more than one user with the same email address?
