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.
