How to set specific fields as readonly for specific user in odoo 15?

Question

Below given are fields of my model out of which half fields is for sales and half of them is for accounts. (I have mentioned by comment)

class emd_sales(models.Model):
_name = 'emd.sales'
_inherit = ['mail.thread', 'mail.activity.mixin']
_rec_name = 'tender_no'

#sales fields
date = fields.Date(string='Date', tracking=True, default=fields.Date.context_today)
company_id = fields.Many2one('emd.company', string='Company')
customer_id = fields.Many2one('res.partner', string='Customer')
product_id = fields.Many2one('product.template', string="Product", tracking=True)
product_desc = fields.Char(string='Product Description')
tender_no = fields.Char(string='Tender Number')
tender_due_date = fields.Date(string='Tender Due Date', tracking=True)
mode_of_sd = fields.Selection([('DD', 'DEMAND DRAFT'), ('BANK TRANSFER', 'BANK TRANSFER'), ('FDR', 'FDR'),
                               ('ONLINE TRANSFER', 'ONLINE TRANSFER'), ('CREDIT CARD', 'CREDIT CARD')],
                              required=True)  # status bar
amount = fields.Integer(string='Amount')

# accounts fields
bank_guarantee_no = fields.Integer(string='Bank Guarantee No.')
date = fields.Date(string='Date', tracking=True)
instrument_no = fields.Integer(string='Instrument Number')
bank_name = fields.Char(string='Bank Name')
period = fields.Selection([
    ('12 Months', '12 Months'),
    ('18 Months', '18 Months'),
    ('24 Months', '24 Months'),
    ('36 Months', '36 Months')
])

expiry_date = fields.Date(string='Expiry Date', tracking=True)
remarks = fields.Text(string='Remarks')

Below given is my form view :

<group>
                    <group>
                        <field name="date"/>
                        <field name="company_id"/>
                        <field name="customer_id"/>
                        <field name="product_id"/>
                        <field name="product_desc"/>
                        <field name="tender_no"/>
                        <field name="tender_due_date"/>
                        <field name="mode_of_sd" widget="radio"/>
                        <field name="amount"/>
                    </group>
                    <group>
                        <field name="bank_guarantee_no" groups="account.group_account_manager"/>
                        <field name="date" groups="account.group_account_manager"/>
                        <field name="instrument_no" groups="account.group_account_manager"/>
                        <field name="bank_name" groups="account.group_account_manager"/>
                        <field name="period" groups="account.group_account_manager"/>
                        <field name="expiry_date" groups="account.group_account_manager"/>
                        <field name="remarks" groups="account.group_account_manager"/>
                        <!--                        <field name="attachment" widget="many2many_binary"/>-->
                    </group>
                </group>

I wanted to make the sales fields as readonly for specific user.

As per the right answer I wrote the below code :

<record id="emd_form_view_inherit" model="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="name">emd.form.view.inherit</field>
    <field name="model">emd.accounts</field>
    <field name="inherit_id" ref="emd.emd_accounts_form_view"/>
    <field name="groups_id" eval="[(6, 0, [ref('account.group_account_manager')])]"/>
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <field name="date" position="attributes">
            <attribute name="readonly">1</attribute>
        </field>
        <field name="company_id" position="attributes">
            <attribute name="readonly">1</attribute>
        </field>
        <field name="customer_id" position="attributes">
            <attribute name="readonly">1</attribute>
        </field>
        <field name="product_id" position="attributes">
            <attribute name="readonly">1</attribute>
        </field>
        <field name="product_desc" position="attributes">
            <attribute name="readonly">1</attribute>
        </field>
        <field name="tender_no" position="attributes">
            <attribute name="readonly">1</attribute>
        </field>
        <field name="tender_due_date" position="attributes">
            <attribute name="readonly">1</attribute>
        </field>
        <field name="mode_of_sd" widget="radio" position="attributes">
            <attribute name="readonly">1</attribute>
        </field>
        <field name="amount" position="attributes">
            <attribute name="readonly">1</attribute>
        </field>
    </field>
</record>

But when I login as admin , I am not able to edit those sales field. I want admin can edit all the fields.

You can extend the view and set the readonly attribute and define the groups allowed to use/access the current view.

If the view extends an existing view, the extension will only be applied for a given user if the user has access to the provided groups_id.

Example:

<record id="emd_sales_form_view_inherit" model="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="name">emd.sales.form.view.inherit</field>
    <field name="model">emd.sales</field>
    <field name="inherit_id" ref="module_test.emd_sales_form_view"/>
    <field name="groups_id" eval="[(6, 0, [ref('module_test.group_sale_user')])]"/>
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <field name="date" position="attributes">
            <attribute name="readonly">1</attribute>
        </field>
    </field>
</record>

Odoo will apply the extension view and set the date field reaonly attribute to 1 if the current user belongs to module_test.group_sale_user group

it works well. But I have one more issue , I have 3 users admin, accounts, sales for now when I login as a admin , I am not able to edit those accounts fields as I set for accounts user. I want admin can edit all the fields. I am adding my code above. – Dhiren Ahuja Jun 09 '22 at 06:41
I actually wanted to provide three different user access rights I have done for sales and accounts that when I login as sales it only shows me sales fields and when I login as accounts it shows me both but it not allows me to edit sales fields. But now I want third one that when I login as admin it let me edit both sales and accounts fields. – Dhiren Ahuja Jun 09 '22 at 12:42
Did you try to add the account's user to a new group and update the `groups_id`? – Kenly Jun 09 '22 at 13:14
I dont know how to do that. can u explain ?? – Dhiren Ahuja Jun 09 '22 at 13:27
Use a new group (create a new group or use an existing group to which the admin user does not belong) to restrict the account's user access to sale fields – Kenly Jun 09 '22 at 13:58
Ya I understood that but don't know how to find the xml id of group can u give me xml id of any existing group to which admin user does not belong...? and also tell me to how to assign that group to account user. – Dhiren Ahuja Jun 10 '22 at 05:43
Activate debug mode and go to settings -> Users & Companies -> Groups then click on the debug icon and choose View Metadata. If you look in the source code use the module name + the record id. – Kenly Jun 10 '22 at 10:37
No user belong to sale receipt group (`account.group_sale_receipts` ). In your code above you restricted account's managers to access sale fields, you can do the same to make the fields editable for admin users. – Kenly Jun 10 '22 at 10:39
You can find an example on how to link a group to user in [base](https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/a7f7233e0eae8ee101d745a9813cba930fd03dcb/odoo/addons/base/security/base_groups.xml#L25) module. – Kenly Jun 10 '22 at 11:01

You have to extend that particular view and add the security groups. see the example below.

  <record id="xmlid" model="ir.ui.view">
        <field name="name">model.name</field>
        <field name="model">model.name</field>
        <field name="inherit_id" ref="modulename.view_xml_id"/>
        <field name="groups_id" eval="[(4, ref('base.group_user'))]"/>
        <field name="arch" type="xml">
            <xpath expr="//field[@name='name']" position="attributes">
                <attribute name="readonly">1</attribute>
            </xpath>
        </field>
    </record>
