I could use some clarifications about the distinction between res.partners and res.users


Where are they defined ?

Also: why are they distinct ?

In what are they different ?

What different use cases are they meant to cover ?

Am I overlooking any documentation about this ?

Thanks

Also, what's the distinction between Interna User, Portal User and Public User ?

Best Answer

you can view partners as any kind of business contact, I.e. a supplier or a customer.

 User is someone that interacts directly with Odoo. A user can be assigned a partner record (I.e. your Customer can have a User to interact with your database and that user is linked to the partner).


Regarding internal/public/portal user:


An internal user will have full access to the backend system. When you have Odoo Enterprise this type of user will require a license.

A portal user can access the customer portal to see their Sales Orders etc

the public user is someone who visits your Odoo website without authenticating
