Odoo Users Location Restriction

Let Employees Check In Only From Approved Locations — Enforced Automatically With Virtual Geofences

Attendance and login security both weaken the moment someone can check in from anywhere, regardless of whether they're actually on-site. Odoo Users Location Restriction fixes that by letting administrators define virtual geographic boundaries (geofences), so users can only check in and check out from authorized geolocations — nowhere else.

Why Does Your Business Need a Dedicated Odoo Geofencing Module?

Businesses that need to confirm an employee is physically present at a job site, office, or approved location can't rely on a login system that accepts check-ins from anywhere. The best Odoo module for geofencing is one that ties login and attendance directly to real map coordinates, blocking check-in and check-out attempts that fall outside an approved zone. Odoo Users Location Restriction does exactly that, giving administrators direct control over defining those authorized areas.

Key Features of Odoo Users Location Restriction

Restrict Login, Check-In, and Check-Out by Geolocation

Enforce location-based restrictions directly on login and attendance actions, so users can only check in and check out from approved areas.

Define Custom Geofenced Areas

Administrators set up custom geofences using map coordinates, tailoring authorized zones to the actual locations relevant to the business.

Improve Employee Tracking and Workplace Compliance

Location-enforced attendance supports more accurate tracking and stronger compliance with workplace policies around where work is actually being done.

Benefits of Odoo Users Location Restriction

Stronger Location-Based Security

Restricting login and attendance to authorized geolocations closes the gap left by systems that accept check-ins from anywhere.

More Accurate Attendance Records

Attendance tied to verified location data is harder to falsify than a simple time-based check-in.

Better Workplace Compliance

Businesses with location-specific policies — job sites, restricted areas, specific offices — get automatic enforcement rather than relying on trust alone.

Simple Administrator Control

Custom geofenced areas are defined directly by administrators using map coordinates, without requiring outside tools.

How Odoo Users Location Restriction Works

Step 1: Install the Module

Copy the res_users_geofence folder into the Odoo addons directory, go to Apps → Update App List, search for "Users Geofence," and install it.

Step 2: Define Geofenced Areas

Set up custom geofenced zones using map coordinates for each authorized location — this is how to restrict login by location in Odoo without relying on manual verification.

Step 3: Assign Restrictions to Users

Apply the geofencing restriction to the relevant users whose login and attendance need to be location-controlled.

Step 4: Users Check In From Approved Locations

Employees can only check in and check out from within the defined geofenced boundaries.

Step 5: Monitor Compliance

Review attendance and login activity, knowing it's tied to verified, authorized locations.
