Since Odoo 9 or 11, we use the feature "visible groups" for our website menus. Now in Odoo 16 the field is removed.
How to we restrict a menu item visibility to a certain user group in Odoo 16? Note, it's also about mege menu entries, page visibility *does not help*.
We developed a solution as part of https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/16.0/website_user_types/
The module makes the website menu tree visible outside debug mode. In the menus' form you can restrict a menu to specific website user groups, e.g. B2C and B2B. The important part is to consider the menu caching, too! In Odoo 16 the menu is cached and group visibility is not going to be recalculated without extending the t-cache. This can look like this:
< template
id="layout"
inherit_id="website.layout">
< xpath expr="//header/t[@t-cache]" position="attributes">
< attribute name="t-cache" add="website.get_website_user_group_cache_key()"/>
< /xpath>
< /template>
Depending on your use case you might add more groups. For us, the user groups fulfill the requirements.
