Hi William,

 In Odoo, the record rule is a mechanism that controls the visibility and access rights of records in a database based on certain conditions. It allows you to define restrictions on specific records, based on different criteria like user groups, roles, fields, and other conditions. This mechanism is used to ensure that users can only access records that are relevant to their roles and responsibilities, and to restrict access to sensitive or confidential data.

Access rights in Odoo are permissions granted to users to perform specific actions on records or objects in the system. For example, creating, editing, deleting, or viewing records. Odoo allows you to define access rights at different levels, such as user groups, roles, and individual users. These permissions can be assigned to users based on their roles, responsibilities, and job functions.

In combination, record rules and access rights provide a powerful way to control the visibility and accessibility of records in Odoo, ensuring that users have access to the information they need, while maintaining the security and integrity of the database.

above queries are not getting validated by Odoo & so are not shown on the Odoo forum.
