I have created a custom module and a menu structure for it as well.

I also added a security folder with group definitions and a permissions csv file.

After upgrading, I checked UI -> Menu Items as well as Groups and access rights and menus assigned to the groups.

They all seem perfect.

I created a new user, assigned one of the groups to it, and set a password.

When I logged in, the the menu did not appear. Please advise.

Code:

security/ir.model.access.csv

mymodule_view.xml

<menuitem name="My Module" id="base.menu_mymodule" sequence="10" groups="group_mymodule_user1"/>

<menuitem name="Arrivals" id="menu_mymodule_arrivals" parent="base.menu_mymodule" sequence="1" groups="group_mymodule_user1"/>

    <menuitem name="New Arrivals" id="menu_mymodule_arrivals_new" parent="menu_mymodule_arrivals" sequence="1" action="mymodule_arrivals_new" groups="group_mymodule_user1"/>

I created a new user (e.g. user1) and selected the "MyModule User - Stage 1" group for it.

I checked the group and it shows user1 as a user (along with administrator).

The Stage 1 group also correctly shows the menu and submenu rights.

But user1 is still unable to see the menu!

Please advise.

Thanks
