Overview

The user service is a very simple service, that aims to just keep track of a few important values related to the current user. It simply provides an object with a few keys:

• allowed_companies ({[id: number] : {id: number, name: string} }): the list of companies that can be accessed by the user. Each element is a pair id, name
• context (object): the user main context (see below for a description)
• current_company ({id: number, name: string}): the currently active company. It is a pair [id, name].
• dateFormat: preferred format when formatting "dates"
• decimalPoint: decimal separator
• direction: "rtl" ("right to left") or "lrt" ("left to right")
• grouping: ?
• isAdmin (boolean): if true, the user is an administrator of the current odoo database
• lang (string): a short description of the user language (such as en_us)
• multiLang: if true, this means that several languages are installed on the database
• partnerId (number): the id for the partner (res.partner record) associated to the user
• thousandsSep: thousands separator
• timeFormat: preferred format when formatting "hours"
• tz (string): the user configured timezone (such as Europe/Brussels)
• userId (number): the user id (for the res.user model)
• userName (string): the user name (string that can be displayed)
