Hi Shelton,

You can give permission for a group for editing only single field of model by defining :

Like that your group user can edit only Field_Name field which have access right.

You can try

'field1': fields.float(string='Field',write=['base.GROUP_ID']),

Only user belongs to GROUP_ID can change that field..

As I understand, you want to allow writing only to one field. Check this answer [1] for information on how to control field access.

I think your best option is to use fields.property type for that field and create a record rule [2] to control the access to the property and access rule [3] to block writing to the main record.

Another option is to override create() and write() methods to check the group and access fields upon writing.

Check this answer [4] for general information about access c

Even if it was working, it would affect the view only, not an actual security measure. Do you have any reference to this option in documentation or source?

Check field access in http://odoo-80.readthedocs.org/en/latest/reference/security.html
You can use groups attr in field.
