self.env.user.has_group not working when creating new record?

Question

I have a few fields in a form that I want to keep readonly unless user is admin for my module...
in the xml:
<field name="name" attrs="{'readonly':[('user_is_admin', '=', False)]}"/>
in my .py:
user_is_admin = fields.Boolean(compute="_compute_user_is_admin", store=False)
def _compute_user_is_admin(self):
self.user_is_admin = self.env.user.has_group('towers.group_mymodule_admin')
Works just fine, until I try to create a new record, then even if I'm admin those fields are read only. I tried displa

Since non admin users are not able to create new records, I resolved it by checking id to see if it's creating a new record:
<field name="name" attrs="{'readonly':[('user_is_admin','=',False),('id','>',0)]}"/>

Hi
you can Start by converting your field to compute field and pass the method to it
and after that pass you depends to the method like this:
api.depends_context('uid')

after this the method will work just fine

Hi you can add default like this
user_is_admin = fields.Boolean(compute="_compute_user_is_admin", store=False, default= lambda self: "_compute_user_is_admin")

I don't think this is a problem with *self.env.user.has_group* - the problem is that *user_is_admin* isn't computed until the record is saved.

Possible workaround: set a user-defined default (for the Administrator only):
*user_is_admin *= true

Have you tried with sudo().
self.user_is_admin = self.env.user.sudo().has_group('towers.group_mymodule_admin')
