Friends,

I have a filed file_type(Its a many2one field)

I have to set default value for it for different users..

Example,

I have 3 user trademark_user,company_user & all user...

For trademark user the file_type field will be "Trademark Registeration" and it should be read only..

For company user the file_type field will be "Company Registeration" and it should be read only..

For all user the file_type field will visible all and it should not be read only..

Thanks in advance..

Hi,You try this:

<field name="file_type" position="attributes">

<attribute name="attrs">{'readonly': ['|',('file_type',in',['trademark_user','company_user']]}</attribute>

then follow the instructions:

1.Log in into any one of the user(trademark_user,or company_user or all user)

2.Enable the developer mode in openerp

3.choose any one of the type in the field "file_type"

4.Then in the debug view menu,there is a menu called " Set Default"

5.you must select your field in the "Default:" field by using the drop-down list

6.Below the "Default:" field, You can see two options called "only you" and "All users".if you select "only you" option the field value used for the customer you logged in.if "All users" means it should be used for all the users.

7.save the value. 8.Log out the current user and log in the next user and continue the above process.

 

whenever you sets a default value in this method,it stores in the Settings/Technical.Actions/User-defined defaults with the field name and model name.you can delete it there .

 

hope it is useful for you

Create 2 groups at your security file and set these groups to their corresponding users.
       <record id="group_trademark" model="res.groups">
            <field name="name">Trademark user</field>
        </record>
       <record id="group_company" model="res.groups">
            <field name="name">Company user</field>
        </record>

In py,
    def _get_file_type(self,cr,uid,context):
        file_type = False
        if self.pool.get('res.users').has_group(cr,uid , 'YOUR MODULE.group_trademark'):
            file_type = 'trademark'     # use the key of your selection field to select "trademark" @ file_type
        if self.pool.get('res.users').has_group(cr,uid , 'YOUR MODULE.group_company'):
            file_type = 'company'   
        return file_type
    
    _defaults={
        'file_type' : _get_file_type
    }

In View.XML, inherit your view to make the field readonly for these 2 groups.
        <record model="ir.ui.view" id="object_name_form_view">
            <field name="name">your_objectname.form</field>
            <field name="model">your_objectname</field>
            <field name="type">form</field>
            <field name="inherit_id" ref="your_view_name" />
            <field name="groups_id" eval="[(6,0,[ref('YOUR MODULE.group_trademark'),ref('YOUR MODULE.group_company')])]" />
            <field name="arch" type="xml">
                <field name="file_type" position="attributes">
                    <attribute name="readonly">True</attribute>
                </field>
            </field>
        </record>
