In Short
Security User Roles is an Odoo 19 Extra Tools app. The tool combines users in roles and simplifies security group assigning. Access group management. Users mass updating.
As an Odoo database grows, user access becomes harder to keep consistent: every new app, department, or employee adds more security groups to check. Security User Roles lets administrators manage access from a role perspective instead of configuring each person one by one. Define reusable roles, assign them to users in any combination, and update many users in seconds when policies, teams, or installed modules change.
Perfect for
Growing teams
For companies where new employees, departments, and apps make manual access setup slow and error-prone.
Temporary access cases
For vacation coverage, substitute employees, short-term projects, and seasonal roles that need access only for specific periods.
Multi-app Odoo databases
For administrators who need one consistent way to manage security groups from standard, third-party, and custom modules.

Why teams choose it
Key benefits before you dive into the details
2 clicks to apply user rights
Assign a role to a user and Odoo adds the required security groups automatically. Administrators no longer need to remember every access checkbox for every employee.
Multiple roles per user
Combine roles to mirror real responsibilities: sales, projects, accounting, support, or custom apps. Users can still stay role-free when a specific manual setup is needed.
Safe in a changing environment
Update one security role to recalculate rights for all linked users. It takes only a few seconds to reflect policy changes or newly installed apps, with far fewer access mistakes.
Simple to start
Manage security roles with the same logic used for standard Odoo users. Build a role from an existing user, or create a new user directly from a prepared role.
Dynamic updates
Configure rules that temporarily add or remove users from roles. Grant a substitute employee short-term access or block a role during vacation time without manual follow-up.
All module access groups
Use roles with security groups from standard Odoo apps, third-party modules, and custom developments. The available access logic remains familiar to Odoo administrators.

Temporary user blocking and activation
Schedule short-term role access
- Set advanced rules to assign a user to a role temporarily, or remove that role for a planned period.
- Add the rule from the Temporary Activation and Blocking tab on the role form.
- Keep one rule per user and role, then add as many periods as that rule needs.
Activate or block automatically
- Use blocking periods for vacations or time off: the user loses the role only during those intervals and is restored afterward.
- Use activation periods for substitutes, temporary employees, or short-term projects that need access only inside a defined window.
- The scheduled job [Security User Roles] Activate/Block Users for Roles checks the periods automatically; a role can also be refreshed manually.

Create roles from real users
Turn an existing access setup into a reusable security template
Start from an existing user
- Open a configured user and click Create Role to prepare a role with the same access groups.
- Adjust the role before saving, without changing the original user used as a template.
Create users from prepared roles
- Create a new user directly from a security role, with groups and the role already prefilled.
- Configure role access through the familiar Odoo user-rights interface, so administrators do not learn a separate security model.
Control multi-role access at a glance
Combine role-based rights and keep user-role assignments visible
Combine roles without conflicts
- Assign several roles to the same user when one job combines several responsibilities.
- When roles touch the same access area, Odoo applies the highest available right and recalculates the user groups automatically.
See roles directly on users
- The Users kanban displays assigned roles, so administrators can understand access sources faster.
- Role colors can highlight important assignments, or be hidden from kanban when a role should stay visually quiet.
