In hr attendances, there is a datetime field called "name".

I want to set this field editable only for a group (or set readonly for other groups).


For example, I want to set the field "name" editable in the "tree" view for the "manager" group.


I have extended the attendance module and I have this code in the XML of my extended module:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<openerp>
    <data>
	<record id="view_attendance_tree" model="ir.ui.view">
            <field name="name">hr.attendance.tree</field>
            <field name="model">hr.attendance</field>
            <field name="inherit_id" ref="hr_attendance.view_attendance_who"/> 
            <field name="groups_id" eval="[(6,0,[ref('base.group_hr_manager')])]" />
            <field name="arch" type="xml">
            <data>
                <xpath expr="//field[@name='name']" position="attributes">
		<attribute name="readonly">0</attribute>
		</xpath>
            </data>
	    </field>
        </record>                 
    </data>
</openerp>


That is wrong, but more or less that's the idea.

I have tried this too:

<record id="hr_attendance.name" model="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="groups_id" eval="[(3,ref('base.group_hr_user'))]"/>
</record>

It doesn't work either

What I have to modify in order to achieve this?  


Note: I checked another similar post (https://www.odoo.com/es_ES/forum/ayuda-1/question/how-to-set-a-field-readonly-for-a-employee-group-85423) but it doesn't worked for me.

First get login user group: https://goo.gl/Ts3qqK

Second make a boolean field and on the basis of that field make field visible/invisible/readonly etc: https://goo.gl/BCxCpk

I found it!

First, the field has to be defined as readonly for everyone.


<xpath expr="//field[@name='employee_id']" position="replace">     
    <field name="employee_id" attrs="{'readonly':True}"/>
</xpath>


Then, we inherit the first custom view

<field name="inherit_id" ref="hr_attendance_extend.view_employee_readonly_custom"/>


Finally, we delete the readonly restriction for the administrators group (group_hr_manager)

<field name="groups_id" eval="[(6, 0, [ref('base.group_hr_manager')])]"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
 <xpath expr="//field[@name='employee_id']" position="attributes">
 <attribute name="readonly">False</attribute>
 </xpath>
</field


Here is the final code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<openerp>
 <data>
 <record id="view_employee_readonly_custom" model="ir.ui.view">
 <field name="name">hr.attendance.form</field>
 <field name="model">hr.attendance</field>
 <field name="inherit_id" ref="hr_attendance.view_attendance_form"/>
 <field name="arch" type="xml">
 <xpath expr="//field[@name='employee_id']" position="replace">
 <field name="employee_id" attrs="{'readonly':True}"/>
 </xpath>
 </field>
 </record>

 <record id="view_employee_readonly" model="ir.ui.view">
 <field name="name">hr.attendance.form</field>
 <field name="model">hr.attendance</field>
 <field name="inherit_id" ref="hr_attendance_extend.view_employee_readonly_custom" />
 <field name="groups_id" eval="[(6, 0, [ref('base.group_hr_manager')])]"/>
 <field name="arch" type="xml">
 <xpath expr="//field[@name='employee_id']" position="attributes">
 <attribute name="readonly">False</attribute>
 </xpath>
 </field>
 </record>
 </data>
</openerp>

Hello MouTio,

You can do with py file by fields_view_get method.

You need to look at the priority of the views (sequence) and define a priority field value for yours so it isn't overridden by a higher priority view.
