Hello Alexis,

I agree that this is a predefined groups rights issue, because I believe
that such customization should be done by default, but still, the groups
and access rights in OpenERP are (more or less) flexibly customizable,
which means, for instance, in this case you can :

- whether create a brand new group and give him only the right to write on
the address object.
- or start from scratch and make your own structure of groups and access
rights.

Kind regards.

>> Dear OpenERP community friends,
>>
>> I share with you something that may be interesting for the whole
>> community. The issue I point out is present in OpenERP 6.0 and 6.1
>> (probably in other versions too) :
>>
>> 1. Only few groups have write access on res.partner.address : Partner
>> Manager, Administration / Configuration, HR Manager and Accounting &
>> Finance / Invoicing & Payments (in v6.1)
>>
>> 2. It means that, if you want your sales, purchase or stock users (not
>> managers) to be able to update a phone number or an email address on a
>> Partner Address, you will probably think : he needs write access on Partner
>> Addresses, so I need to add him to the group "Partner Manager".
>>
>> 3. If you look at the details of the ACLs for the group "Partner
>> Manager", you will see that this group has write/create access on
>> res.partner.bank and res.bank.
>>
>> 4. It means that all users that belong to the "Partner Manager" group can
>> modify the bank account numbers and other bank details on any partner.
>>
>> 5. Imagine one of them replaces the IBAN and BIC of a supplier by his own
>> bank account.
>>
>> 6. If the company uses OpenERP to generate bank files to pay the
>> suppliers, the employee will receive the money instead of the supplier !
>>
>> 7. The employee then runs away to the British Virgin Islands... :)
>>
>> Of course, I know that all OpenERP integrators take the time to review
>> all ACLs on every deployment of OpenERP to check that nobody has "too much"
>> rights... :-)
>>
>> But I wanted to share the light on this issue... the "Partner Manager"
>> group gives a lot of rights, probably too much for a regular employee...
>> but you probably want your regular employees to update phone numbers and
>> e-mail addresses on partners, but there is no native "intermediate" group
>> to give them such rights.
>>
>> Regards,
>>
