How can I configure Odoo 18.0 Enterprise model so that certain user groups have read-only access to records, while still permitting all users to post comments?


R3cord rules are blocking comments also 

Kindly advise

Hello Mohamed Hallal
I hope you are doing well

Use separate record rules for the model and the mail.message model:

  1. Create a read-only record rule for your model (e.g., sale.order):
  # Settings → Technical → Security → Record Rules
  Name: Sales Order - Read Only Group
  Model: Sales Order
  Groups: [Your Read-Only Group]
  Domain: [(1, '=', 1)]  # All records
  Permissions: Read ✓, Write ✗, Create ✗, Delete ✗
  2. Create a mail.message rule to allow commenting:
  Name: Allow Comments on Sales Orders
  Model: mail.message
  Groups: [Your Read-Only Group]
  Domain: [('model', '=', 'sale.order')]
  Permissions: Read ✓, Write ✓, Create ✓, Delete ✗

 Key Point: Even with read-only access on the main model, users need Create permission on mail.message to post comments in the chatter.

I hope this information helps you

Thanks & Regards,
