# Odoo

You can use the Odoo connector from the CData Sync application to capture data
from Odoo and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add
the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

## Prerequisite

To allow Sync to determine which models your user can access in Odoo, the connected user must have read permissions for `ir.model.access` (an internal Odoo model that manages access rights). While this permission is reserved typically for administrators, you can grant it to any user by creating a service group, as explained below:

1. As an administrator, open the Odoo settings page and enable developer mode. If this mode is not available, you might need to login as the superuser instead.
2. Navigate to the **Groups** page (available below the **Users** drop-down list) and create a new group.
3. Set **Application** to **Administration** and **Name** to **Service Access**.
4. On the **Users** tab, add users who need service access.
5. On the **Access Rights** tab, enter the model (`ir.model.access`), select the **Read Access** checkbox, and name your service group **Inspect Models**.
6. Save the new group.

If you cannot grant access by creating a new group, then you should set [**Check Permissions**](#check) to **False**. This action displays all models in Odoo as tables, regardless of your user's actual permissions for those models.

## Add the Odoo Connector

To enable Sync to use data from Odoo, you first must add the
connector, as follows:

<ol>
  <li>Open the **Connections** page of the Sync dashboard.</li>
  <li>Click **Add Connection** to open the **Select Connectors** page.</li>
  <li>Click the **Sources** tab and locate
  the **Odoo** row.</li>

  <li>
    Click the **Configure Connection** icon at the end of that row to open
    the **New Connection** page. This action opens the
    **Add Connection** dialog.

    **Note:** If the **Configure Connection** icon is not
    available, click the **Download Connector** icon to install
    the Odoo connector.
  </li>

  <li>Enter a name for your connection in the **Add Connection** dialog.</li>
  <li>Click **Add** to open the **Settings** tab for your connector.</li>
</ol>

For more information about installing new connectors, see
[Connections](https://docs.sync.cdata.com/26.4/en/connections/connections.md).

## Authenticate to Odoo

After you add the connector, you need to set the required properties.

* **URL:** Enter the base URL for your Odoo database (for example, https\://*MyCompany*.odoo.com).
* **User:** Enter the username that you use to authenticate to Odoo.
* **API Token:** Enter the API token (or password) that you use to authenticate to Odoo.
* **Odoo Edition:** Select the edition of Odoo that you want to use.
  * **Odoo Online** (default)
  * **Odoo OnPremise:** With this edition, you must also enter the name of the Odoo database to which you want to connect. Enter the name in the **Database** text box.

## Complete Your Connection

To complete your connection:

1. For **Check Permissions**, select whether you want to use Odoo user permissions to determine which tables and lists to view. By default, the **Enable** checkbox is already selected.
2. Define advanced connection settings on the **Advanced** tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)
3. Click **Create & Test** to create your connection.
