Overview

The goal of nereid project is to provide a friendly web based user interface to stakeholders outside the company to the powerful project management module of Tryton.

  • Separate user accounts for users outside the company (like customers) without giving access to Tryton.
  • Simplify the project management tasks to encourage participation from users who may not be tech savvy.

Nereid User

Nereid introduces a model of user management different from the default user management schema (res.user) of Tryton. Nereid project also makes use of the concept to provide logins to participants of the project. Internal employees of the company should in addition have their user accounts linked to their employee records so that timesheet entries can be marked by users who are also employees.

In addition, nereid project also introduces the idea of project administrators. Project administrators are created by adding nereid users to the project admins section on the company module. This is due for deprecation and will be replaced with the permissions system introduced in nereid. Nereid Users with the nereid_project.admin permission will be automatically given admin rights to all projects.

Note

Note that the permissions mentioned here are nereid.permissions and not the regular Tryton access control user groups.
