Hi,

  • Access Rights group allows users to manage the permissions of other user accounts
  • Settings group allows users to manage all of the configurations of the system.

Hi Team Jayram Industries,


Reply : In Odoo, "Settings" and "Access Rights" are two different concepts that control different aspects of user permissions and privileges.

"Settings" refers to the configuration options that determine the behavior of various Odoo modules and applications. These settings can include things like general system settings, company-specific settings, and module-specific settings. Users with access to the "Settings" menu can modify these options as needed to tailor Odoo to their specific needs.

"Access Rights," on the other hand, refer to the permissions that control what actions and data users can access within the system. These permissions can include the ability to create, read, update, or delete records, as well as access to specific modules or features.

In summary, "Settings" roles are responsible for configuring the system, while "Access Rights" roles control what users can do and see within the system. Both roles are important for ensuring that users have the appropriate permissions and access to perform their job functions effectively.

If you need any assistance or support, please don't hesitate to reach out. Our team is always here to help!"

I see there’s already a good answer above explaining the difference between "Settings" and "Access Rights" .

In my turn, I’d recommend reading a good guide on the relationship between Roles, Groups, Access Rights, Users, and Permissions in Odoo.

There’s also a useful example showing how to set up access rights for a new user. - link.
