Context
hr_employee_type
The module hr_employee_type adds a field to distinguish Internal and External employees.
private_data_group
The module private_data_group allows to customize Private Fields on employees.
It adds a group Manage Private Information allowed to read and edit the private fields. The private fields are hidden to other users.
Summary
This module adds 2 groups.
- Manage Private Information (Internal Employees)
- Manage Private Information (External Employees)
These 2 groups have access to the private fields for their respective employee type (Internal / External).
Usage
As member of Manage Private Information (Internal Employees), I go to the form view of an internal employee.
- I notice a new button Private Information
- The Private Information tab is hidden.
When I click on the Private Information button, a wizard is opened:
I can edit the form and save.
I go to the form view of an external employee.
I do not see the button Private Information because I am not member of the group Manage Private Information (External Employees).
Module Design
The reason that a wizard is used to edit the private data is because it offers more flexibility over the access control.
The wizard serves as a proxy between the user and the employee record.
Each access in read / write to the wizard is controlled with specific rules. If these checks pass, the read / write operation is applied to the related employee.
