Upload a document

Workspaces and permissions

Documents Configuration Workspaces

Create workspaces for each functional area: HR Documents, Finance, Sales Contracts, Quality Certificates, Legal. For each workspace, set read and write access by job position or individual user. Sensitive workspaces like HR or Finance should be restricted to relevant staff only.

Default workspace per module Configure default workspaces per Odoo module in Documents → Configuration → Settings. For example, all files attached to HR records automatically go to the HR workspace, and all invoice PDFs go to the Finance workspace. This keeps the document library organised without manual effort.
