# Manage model export profiles

This module extends the export capability:

1. It allows an admin to manage export profiles (`ir.exports`) that Odoo stores internally but does not show anywhere.
2. It also adds a new column to access rights to enable/disable export and override the export method to check if the user is allowed to export. Export is enabled by default.

## Configuration

- Activate the developer mode
- Go to Settings > Users > Groups to select a user group
- Edit the group and go to the Access Rights tab
- Uncheck the “Export Access” box on the object of your choice and save

You can also go to Settings > Technical > Security > Access Rights.

## Usage

You can create the export profiles as you are used to:

- Go to any list view.
- Check some records.
- Click Action > Export.
- Use the wizard to choose the columns to export.
- Click on the Template dropdown and select New template
- Give it a name.
- Click on the floppy disk icon to save it.

To manage export profiles, you need to:

- Go to Settings > Technical > User Interface > Export Profiles.
- Create a new one.
- Choose a name.
- Choose a model (table in the database).
- Choose the fields to export.
  - If you choose a related field, you can choose also up to 4 levels of subfields.
  - You can drag & drop to reorder the fields.

To use one of those profiles, you need to:

- Go to any list view.
- Check some records.
- Click Action > Export.
- Choose your saved export from Saved exports.
- Press Export to file.

Once you have configured groups who cannot export an object:

- Connect as a user of this group
- Go to the list view of the object you disabled the export
- Select records and open the Action menu. The “Export” is not there.

## Known issues / Roadmap
