This module adds a new isolated user type group called “Subcontractors”, that simulates to be an internal user, giving access to the backend, but only granting the minimum permissions for the web client to work, and only exposing the Discuss menu.
The rest of the needed permissions for that subcontractors should be given in extra customizations.
Table of contents
A usual need inside a company using Odoo is to have external people (subcontractors) that need to access Odoo to do certain operations that are not allowed (or they are not comfortable) in the portal, but giving them an internal system user is too much, as there some visible information (like contacts or calendar events) that shouldn’t be shown by these users, even by legal reasons (GDPR, etc).
