What is Portal access/Who is a portal user?
|
||||
============================================
|
||||
Portal access is given to users who need the ability to view certain documents or information
|
||||
within an Odoo database.
|
||||
|
||||
A portal access is given to a user who has the necessity to have access
|
||||
to Odoo instance, to view certain documents or information in the
|
||||
system.
|
||||
Some common use cases for providing portal access include allowing customers to read/view any or
|
||||
all of the following in Odoo:
|
||||
|
||||
For Example, a long term client who needs to view online quotations.
|
||||
- leads/opportunities
|
||||
- quotations/sales orders
|
||||
- purchase orders
|
||||
- invoices & bills
|
||||
- projects
|
||||
- tasks
|
||||
- timesheets
|
||||
- tickets
|
||||
- signatures
|
||||
- subscriptions
|
||||
|
||||
A portal user has only read/view access. He or she will not be able to
|
||||
edit any document in the system.
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
Portal users only have read/view access, and will not be able to edit any documents in the
|
||||
database.
