Introduction
The Restrict Product & Category Access for Users module for Odoo provides a refined and secure mechanism to tailor which products and categories each user can access. By enabling granular “Allow Product” and “Allow Category” permissions in the user record, administrators can ensure that employees only see relevant items in the system—minimizing errors, improving performance, and safeguarding sensitive catalog data. This module integrates across core operations (sales, purchases, inventory), ensuring consistency in visibility and narrowing the interface to what matters for each user.
