[web_easy_switch_company] ACL / Permissions insufficient for non-admin users

[Ray Carnes]

I am unable to get this functionality working for users other than admin.

I have made sure users have 'Multi Companies' checked, and that 'Allowed Companies' is more than one, however the widget never appears for these users.

Per direction from Sylvain, I am loggin a bug.

Hi,

You're right. I didn't see that because I tested the module only with admin (no ACL constraint) and with my database that use non default ACL permissions.

The problem is :
when a user is in a company, by default, he has no access to other companies. Using the default interface, it works because there is a special call with a special context value 'user_preference'. (base/../res_users.py#160).
I can not reproduce the correct call, using web call.

I'll investigate in a few days but if you have some ideas...

Regards.

Thanks for the info. I have no ideas myself, but will re-test as soon as you need me to.

Hello,

One way to work around is to replace the default record rule for res.company by

[('id','child_of',[c.id for c in user.company_ids])]

hence providing access to all companies allowed to the user.

This may have other side effects, though.

Hi Sylvain, all,

I submitted a MP with a proposed fix.
