Odoo Server Action

Server action is a great feature of Odoo. You can use server action to sending emails on confirmation of any event like (sale, purchase etc). But in this tutorial I am going to show you how to filter
records on list view or tree view that relates to active/login user on the click of menu. For example for admin user I want to show all records, but for employee I want to show selective records that are related to that employee.

Server Action in Odoo (ir.actions.server)

To use server action on the click of menu follow below steps.

1- Create server action and call that action from your menu.

	<record id="server_action_any_name" model="ir.actions.server">
	<field name="name">Any Name Goes Here</field>
	<field name="condition">True</field>
	<field name="type">ir.actions.server</field>
	<field name="model_id" ref="model_your_model_name" />
	<field name="state">code</field>
	<field name="code">action=self.get_filtered_record(cr, uid, context.get('active_ids', []), context=context)</field>
	</record>
	<menuitem name="Your Menu Name" id="menu_any_name" action="server_action_any_name"/>

2- After that create a method or function under your model, and from that model after using your logic return action window.

	@api.multi
	def get_filtered_record(self):
	if self._context.get('params', False):
	params = self._context.get('params', False)
	if params.get('menu_id', False):
	raise ValidationError(
	"Attention:You are not allowed to access this page due to Security Policy. In case of any query, please contact ERP Admin or Configuration Manager.")
	else:
	return False
	view_id_form = self.env['ir.ui.view'].search([('name', '=', 'your.form.view.name')])
	view_id_tree = self.env['ir.ui.view'].search([('name', '=', 'your.tree.view.name')])
	group_pool = self.env['res.groups']
	user = self.env['res.users'].browse(self._uid)
	employee_pool = self.env['hr.employee']
	employee = employee_pool.search([('user_id', '=', user.id)])
	if user.has_group('base.group_erp_manager'):
	record_ids = self.env['your.model.name'].search([]).ids
	if user.has_group('base.group_hr_user'):
	record_ids = self.env['your.model.name'].search([('company_id', '=', employee.company_id.id)]).ids
	else:
	record_ids = employee.ids
	return {
	'type': 'ir.actions.act_window',
	# 'name': _('Product'),
	'res_model': 'your.model.name',
	'view_type': 'form',
	'view_mode': 'tree,form',
	# 'view_id': view_id_tree.id,
	'views': [(view_id_tree.id, 'tree'), (view_id_form.id, 'form')],
	'target': 'current',
	'domain': [('id', 'in', record_ids)]
	# 'res_id': your.model.id,
	}
