Odoo security visualizer
I just submitted a pull request to OCA/server-tools that introduces a Security & Access Rule Visualizer for Odoo.
This module helps developers and administrators understand why a user can (or cannot) access a record in an Odoo database.

Re: Odoo security visualizer
Mohamed, please stop spamming the mailing list with links to your generated slop. Further, an important part of making a valuable contribution is researching prior work, doing so would have lead you to https://github.com/OCA/server-backend/tree/16.0/base_user_effective_permissions which already does a large part of what you propose here. A *non-slop* version of the acl and rule decomposition could be a useful addition to this module though. But as the code stands currently, I wouldn't start with a review because at first glance there's so much wrong on a fundamental level that just listing all of that would be quite work intensive. And probably a vain effort because most likely my input goes into the bullshit generator again, which is not how I want to spend my scarce review time.
