Login to your new database¶
Use the login method on a database with the
account of your choice:
>>> odoo.login('tutorial', 'admin', 'password')
Note
Under the hood the login method creates a cookie, and all requests thereafter which need a user authentication are cookie-based.
Once logged in, you can check some information through the
environment:
>>> odoo.env.db
'tutorial'
>>> odoo.env.context
{'lang': 'fr_FR', 'tz': 'Europe/Brussels', 'uid': 1}
>>> odoo.env.uid
1
>>> odoo.env.lang
'fr_FR'
>>> odoo.env.user.name # name of the user
'Mitchell Admin'
>>> odoo.env.user.company_id.name # the name of its company
'YourCompany'
From now, you can easily execute any kind of queries on your Odoo server (execute model methods, trigger workflow, download reports…).
