Hi Anush Soghomonyan,

This is not possible at the Studio level because Studio does not provide control over the SearchModel behavior in the web client. A custom module is required.

One approach is to create a security group and patch the Odoo 17 SearchModel to prevent users in that group from removing default search filters.

1. Create a Security Group

<!-- security/security.xml -->
<record id="group_search_filter_manager" model="res.groups">
    <field name="name">Restricted From Removing Default Search Filters</field>
    <field name="category_id" ref="base.module_category_hidden"/>
</record>

Assign this group to users who should be restricted from removing default filters.

2. Patch the SearchModel

/** @odoo-module **/

import { SearchModel } from "@web/search/search_model";
import { patch } from "@web/core/utils/patch";
import { _t } from "@web/core/l10n/translation";

patch(SearchModel.prototype, {
    async load(config) {
        await super.load(config);

        // Store default filters loaded initially
        this._defaultGroupIds = new Set(
            this.query.map((q) => this.searchItems[q.searchItemId]?.groupId)
        );

        // Check whether current user is restricted
        this._canRemoveDefaultFilters = await this.userService.hasGroup(
            "your_module.group_search_filter_manager"
        ).then((isRestricted) => !isRestricted);
    },

    deactivateGroup(groupId) {
        if (
            !this._canRemoveDefaultFilters &&
            this._defaultGroupIds?.has(groupId)
        ) {
            this.env.services.notification.add(
                _t("You are not allowed to remove default filters."),
                { type: "warning" }
            );
            return;
        }
        return super.deactivateGroup(groupId);
    },
});

3. Load the JS File in Assets

Add the JS file to the backend assets in your module manifest:

'assets': {
    'web.assets_backend': [
        'your_module/static/src/js/search_model_patch.js',
    ],
},

Result:

• Users in the restricted group cannot remove default search filters.
• Users outside the group can remove filters normally.
• Only filters loaded by default are protected, while other filters continue to work as usual.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

Hope this helps!

Thanks and Regards,
