Hello Jim, 

In Odoo, you can limit user access to specific apps by configuring user access rights for the app.

Here's how you can proceed to Limit Access for the Odoo Apps:
  1. Identify the User Groups for the Apps:
    • Go to Settings > Users & Companies > Groups.
    • Search for the groups associated with the specific apps you want to restrict access to.
      • Example: For Sales, look for groups like Sales / User, Sales / Administrator, etc.
  2. Configure User Groups:
    • Go to Settings > Users & Companies > Users.
    • Select the user you want to restrict access for.
    • Under the Access Rights tab, assign them to the specific groups related to the apps you want to provide access to (e.g., Sales, Invoicing) and remove access to all other apps.
    Example:
    • Allow access to Sales: Add the user to the Sales / User group.
    • Deny access to Inventory: Make sure the user is not assigned to Inventory / User.

You can also use record rules to further restrict what records within the app the user can see or interact with, based on the app or the group they belong to.

Let me know if it helps :)

Exactly! Our "Workshop" user should only have access to the Shop Floor app and one more app.  We use the online/saas version today.

Thank you so much for quick responses!

Have now partially succeeded in this by:

Find the right group where "Workshop" user is included, duplicate the group, delete Workshop on the original group and Admin on the copy.

Via "Menus" delete the apps I want to disappear.

Is this the right approach?

(Dashboard and Website remain, however, as I cannot find these in Groups.)

Do you mean one single user should have access to only two specific apps? Would you like to achieve this through XML configuration?

Thanks, Alexander
