If you run more than one company inside a single Odoo instance, you've probably run into this: a user gets access rights in one company, and Odoo quietly carries those same rights into every other company they belong to. There's no native way to say "this person should be a Sales Manager in Company A, but only view records in Company B." For businesses with strict data boundaries between entities finance, compliance, franchise, or holding-company structures that's a real security gap, not just an inconvenience.
The Multi-Company Access Rights module for Odoo, built by Creyox Technologies, solves exactly this. It gives administrators full control to set company wise user permissions defining which access rights and groups a user has in each company individually. When a user switches companies, their access adjusts automatically to match what's configured for that company, and every change is logged with who made it and when.
Overview
The Creyox Odoo Multi-Company Access Rights module is a powerful solution designed to manage Odoo multi-company user access control with accuracy and ease. It allows businesses to assign and control Odoo user permissions per company, ensuring proper data separation and secure operations across multiple companies within a single Odoo instance. When a user switches between companies, the module automatically updates access rights based on the selected company. This eliminates the need for manual configuration and ensures that users always operate with the correct permissions. For example, if an employee works for two companies within the same Odoo system, they will automatically see only the relevant records, menus, and data based on the active company preventing cross-company data exposure.
The module also includes a centralized dashboard where administrators can monitor access configurations, track who updated permissions, and view timestamps for every change. An easy-to-use wizard enables quick setup or modification of user access without navigating complex settings. With advanced search and filtering options, businesses can efficiently audit access changes and maintain compliance. Fully integrated with Odoo’s multi-company environment, this module enhances security, reduces manual effort, and supports scalable business growth.
