Usage

To use this module, you need to inherit this mixin for the model whose fields you want to restrict, and implement at least the following methods to do something useful:

class ResPartner(models.Model):
    # inherit from the mixin
    _inherit = ['restrict.field.access.mixin', 'res.partner']
    _name = 'res.partner'

    @api.multi
    def _restrict_field_access_get_field_whitelist(self, action='read'):
        # return a whitelist (or a blacklist) of fields, depending on the
        # action passed
        whitelist = [
            'name', 'parent_id', 'is_company', 'firstname', 'lastname',
            'infix', 'initials',
        ] + super(ResPartner, self)\
            ._restrict_field_access_get_field_whitelist(action=action)
        if action == 'read':
            whitelist.extend(['section_id', 'user_id'])
        return whitelist

    @api.multi
    def _restrict_field_access_is_field_accessible(self, field_name,
                                                   action='read'):
        # in case the whitelist is not enough, you can also decide for
        # specific records if an action can be carried out on it or not
        result = super(ResPartner, self)\
            ._restrict_field_access_is_field_accessible(
                field_name, action=action)
        if result or not self:
            return result
        return all(this.section_id in self.env.user.section_ids or
                   this.user_id == self.env.user
                   for this in self)

    @api.multi
    @api.onchange('section_id', 'user_id')
    @api.depends('section_id', 'user_id')
    def _compute_restrict_field_access(self):
        # if your decision depends on other fields, you probably need to
        # override this function in order to attach the correct onchange/
        # depends decorators
        return super(ResPartner, self)._compute_restrict_field_access()

    @api.model
    def _restrict_field_access_inject_restrict_field_access_domain(
            self, domain):
        # you also might want to decide with a domain expression which
        # records are visible in the first place
        domain[:] = expression.AND([
            domain,
            [
                '|',
                ('section_id', 'in', self.env.user.section_ids.ids),
                ('user_id', '=', self.env.user.id),
            ],
        ])

The example code here will allow only reading a few fields for partners of which the current user is neither the sales person nor in this partner's sales team.

Read the comments of the mixin, that's part of the documentation. Also have a look at the tests, that's another example on how to use this code.
