Base Export Manager

This module extends the export capability:

  1. It allows an admin to manage export profiles (ir.exports) that Odoo stores internally but does not show anywhere.
  2. It also adds a new column to access rights to enable/disable export and override the export method to check if the user is allowed to export. Export is enabled by default.

Configuration

  • Activate the developer mode
  • Go to Settings > Users > Groups to select a user group
  • Edit the group and go to the Access Rights tab
  • Uncheck the "Export Access" box on the object of your choice and save

You can also go to Settings > Technical > Security > Access Rights.

Usage

You can create the export profiles as you are used to:

  • Go to any list view.
  • Check some records.
  • Press More > Export.
  • Use the wizard to choose the columns to export.
  • Press Save fields list.
  • Give it a name.
  • Press OK.

To manage export profiles, you need to:

  • Go to Settings > Technical > User Interface > Export Profiles.

  • Create a new one.

  • Choose a name.

  • Choose a model (table in the database).

  • Choose the fields to export. * If you choose a related field, you can choose also up to 4 levels of

    subfields.

    • You can drag & drop to reorder the fields.

To use one of those profiles, you need to:

  • Go to any list view.
  • Check some records.
  • Press More > Export.
  • Choose your saved export from Saved exports.
  • Press Export to file.

Once you have configured groups who cannot export an object:

  • Connect as a user of this group
  • Go to the list view of the object you disabled the export
  • Select records and open the Action menu. The "Export" is not there.
