The error you’re encountering in Odoo 17, where an Import whole module error fails due to Access Rights being unable to read a model, could be due to several reasons related to permissions and model definitions. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:
1. Check Access Rights for the Model
Ensure that the user role has the necessary access rights for the model in question. Access rights are defined in the security file (ir.model.access.csv
), which defines permissions like read, write, create, and delete for the model.
- Go to Settings → Users & Companies → Groups, then search for the group that should have access to the model.
- Ensure the correct permissions are assigned for the model in question. Example CSV line in
ir.model.access.csv
:
id,name,model_id:id,group_id:id,perm_read,perm_write,perm_create,perm_unlink
access_model_example,access.model.example,model_model_example,,1,1,1,1
2. Ensure Model is Registered in the System
Check whether the model is properly defined and registered in the Odoo system. If the model isn’t registered, Odoo might not be able to apply access rights or locate it.
Example model definition:
from odoo import models, fields
class ExampleModel(models.Model):
_name = 'example.model'
_description = 'Example Model'
Make sure the model is imported correctly in the __init__.py
file of the module:
from . import models
3. Check for Model Inheritance Issues
If your model is inheriting from another model, ensure the parent model is accessible and its access rights are properly configured. Odoo sometimes has issues with inherited models if the base model doesn’t have the necessary access permissions.
4. Update the Module
After making any changes, update the module and restart the Odoo server to apply the changes.
- Update via the Odoo UI by going to Apps → Update Apps List.
- Or from the terminal:
bash odoo -u your_module_name
5. Inspect Logs for Detailed Errors
Odoo logs can provide more information about the specific error you’re encountering. Check the Odoo logs to see if there are any messages related to the module error or access rights.
You can find the logs typically in the following location:
/var/log/odoo/odoo-server.log
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the “Access Right cannot read the model” error when importing a module in Odoo 17. Let me know if you need more specific guidance!
Conclusion
The error you are continuously meeting in Odoo 17, where an Import whole module error fails just because of Access Rights being incapable of simply reading a model, could be just because of some reasons associated with permissions and model descriptions. Here are several steps you can take to resolve the occurred problem by having managed odoo sever solutions.
