How to Add a User
Go to Settings -> Users and Companies -> Users
Here you can see all the users. In order to add a new user, just click the ‘CREATE’ button on the top left corner.
Provide the Name and company email of the user. Under the ‘Acess Rights’ tab, you can determine and give access to the user to the relevant applications. Every application has varying levels of rights. And once all the required details and actions are entered, click the ‘Save’ button to save it.
There is also another alternate and simple way to add a new user in Odoo. For that, just go to the ‘Dashboard’ of the settings module.
On the top left part of the ‘General Settings’ dashboard, you’ll see a field named ‘Invite New User’. You can directly invite a user by just entering the company email address in this field and clicking the ‘INVITE’ button. Just under the field, you can see the ‘Pending Invitations’ or email invitations yet to be confirmed.
When saved, an automatic email invitation containing the subscription link will be sent to the provided email address. To create a login, the user must accept the invitation. With each new user, the subscription fee will increase correspondingly under the Odoo/Open ERP Policy.
