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.

Regards,
Holger

Reference

  • 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. 

    You can check out the PR here:  https://github.com/OCA/server-tools/pull/3516
