Key Features

🌐 LanguageNew users inherit the interface language configured on the Default User Template automatically.
🕐 TimezoneCorrect timezone is set from the template — users don't need to set it themselves after creation.
🏠 Home ActionControl which screen users land on after login — set it once on the template for everyone.


Description

Odoo's built-in Default User Template only propagates security groups to new users. Language, Timezone, and Home Action are silently ignored. Default User Template Preferences fills that gap: configure these preferences once on the template and they are inherited by every subsequent user — and the new-user form is pre-filled before you even click Save.

Explicitly supplied values always take priority. If you set a different timezone on a specific new user, it is respected. If the user is linked to an existing partner that already has a language or timezone configured, that partner's value is preserved.

Works Across All Creation Paths

Path 1

Settings → Users → New

The new-user form opens pre-filled with template Language, Timezone and Home Action. Change what you need, save, and you're done.

Path 2

HR Employee → Create User

When an employee's linked user is created via the HR module, template preferences are applied at creation time. Existing partner data is preserved.

Path 3

Spreadsheet / CSV Import

Bulk-import users without specifying preferences? Template values fill in the gaps for any missing Language, Timezone, or Home Action fields.

✓ What is Inherited

  • Interface Language (e.g. English, Arabic)
  • Timezone (e.g. Asia/Dhaka, Europe/London)
  • Home Action (first screen after login)
  • Works for all 3 user creation paths
  • Form pre-filled on open (not just on Save)
  • Explicitly provided values always win

⊗ What is NOT Overwritten

  • Explicitly supplied values in the form
  • Existing partner language/timezone
  • Security groups (handled by Odoo core)
  • Any other user preference fields
  • Portal or public users

Installation

  1. Download the module from the Odoo App Store.
  2. Place the bs_default_user_template folder in your Odoo addons directory.
  3. Restart the Odoo server.
  4. Go to Settings → Apps, search for Default User Template Preferences, and click Install.
  5. Set the Language, Timezone, and Home Action on the Default User Template at Settings → Users → Default User.
  6. All subsequently created users will inherit those preferences automatically.
No configuration required beyond the template itself. No settings menus, no extra models, no database migrations. To remove it, simply uninstall it.
