Why write permission is checked when executing a server action?

Question

I have a server action that performs some operation based on the value of the current record context, but odoo forbids calling a server action on a record when write permission is not accorded.
I'm questioning why is it necessary to check for write permission before launching the server action and how can I work around this.
I can inherit the model and override the method but I want to know if there is another solution.

Hi,

Odoo enforces write permissions before running a server action because server actions can modify records, and this prevents users with only read rights from indirectly changing data.

If your server action is read-only, you can work around this by using .sudo() inside the Python code so it bypasses write checks while still keeping logic safe. If it needs to update records, the user should logically have write access.

Other options include using a custom button/cron job instead of a server

You were super close, just add allowed groups_id ​to the record, and it would not ask for write permissions
