To allow `group_backend` to interact with a model you can either add access rules to the group
or you can add `implied_ids` to `group_backend`.
.. note::
Be aware users can only belong to one group from the user type category
(`base.module_category_user_type`). So your other groups can't inherit both
internal users and backend users.

This module was written to extend the standard functionality regarding users
and groups management by adding a new `Backend user` group that only gives access
to odoo backend (`/web`):
* minimal default access:
* users and partners (this is necessary to access your own data)
* mail activity, notification and channel
* presence
* minimal default menu
* notification
* activities
* minimal default access rules
The problem with the `Internal user` is when you want to gives access to the
backend to a really thin part of your business to some users, it's quite hard
to properly maintain those roles over the project life, a lot of models use
that group (`base.group_user`) by default which makes hard to maintains.
So that helps creating well-defined user groups with more controls.
This modules does 3 things:
* It hijack the has_group method of res.users by returning True for group_backend users when the requested group is group_user (The need for this needs to be investigated)
* It sets the res_users.share to False for group_backend users. This allows those users to access the backend.
* It sets the bare minimum permission in the ir.model.access.csv to display the backend
We suggest to use this module with its compagnon `base_user_role`
Limitations
~~~~~~~~~~~
At the time of writing, Odoo uses `res.users.share == False` to give the
backend access.
However to be able to access the backend without any errors some basic rights are necessary.
This module change the way `res.users.share` is computed to allow `group_backend users` to use the backend.
This avoids to write a lot of overwrite in different controllers from
different modules ('portal', 'web', 'base', 'website') with hard coded statements
that check if user is part of the `base.group_user` or `share == False` group.
.. warning::
Using this module and grant a user with `group_backend`'s group is
equivalent to grant `group_user`'s group everywhere `has_group`
has been used.

To use this module, you need to:
#. Go to Configuration / Users / Users, choose a user and set the user type.
You get a users that is only able to access to the Odoo backend which you
can attach other groups that not implies other kind of users (`portal`,
`internal users`)
