Answer 1

try below line in your _openerp_.py file

'installable': True,
'auto_install': False,

Your security/forum_nyros_security.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<openerp>
<data noupdate="0">
    <record model="ir.module.category" id="module_category_forum">
        <field name="name">Forum Management</field>
        <field name="sequence">7</field>
    </record>

    <record id="group_forum_user" model="res.groups">
        <field name="name">User</field>
        <field name="category_id" ref="module_category_forum"/>
        <field name="implied_ids" eval="[(4, ref('base.group_user'))]"/>
    </record>

    <record id="group_forum_manager" model="res.groups">
        <field name="name">Manager</field>
        <field name="category_id" ref="module_category_forum"/>
        <field name="implied_ids" eval="[(4, ref('group_forum_user'))]"/>
        <field name="users" eval="[(4, ref('base.user_root'))]"/>
    </record>
</data>
</openerp>

And your security/ir.model.access.csv

id,name,model_id:id,group_id:id,perm_read,perm_write,perm_create,perm_unlink
access_forum_course,forum.course,model_forum_course,group_forum_user,1,1,1,1
access_forum_categ,forum.categ,model_forum_categ,group_forum_user,1,1,1,1

Now do following steps.

• Setting => Users => Click on Demo User
• Now move to Access Rights => you will see Forum Management
• Select User and save it.
• Now Login with demo user you will see your Module.

NOTE: As Admin, You can give rights to the User. If the User don't have any access right to the Forum Management (remain empty) than User will not show Module.

After this will you can show your module.

Answer 2

The code seems pretty ok to me.

What about your non-admin user. Is it in the new group? If not, please put it in there :-)

Answer 3

In your openerp client,go to Settings/technical/Security/ access rights. Check whether your access created access right is there or not.
