Standard modules not found after installing on odoo 8

Question

I'm currently trying to install a module (service level agreement module) on Odoo 8. I downloaded the zip, copied it over to the addon directory specified in the configuration file, and then restarted the server. To ensure it restarted I killed the old process, check that it was dead, and then started it up again.

I attempted to search for the module (searched for Service), and it was not found.

Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Answer 1

They appear after you update Module List but you need the "Technical Features" permission. You even have to set it for your admin user like this.

To activate the technical features, you have to add access rights to your user. You must edit your current user from the menu Settings > Users. Edit your user (probably admin) and, in the Access Rights tab, check the option Technical Features.

Answer 2

Did you update your list of modules ? (Settings / Modules / Update Module List).

You need the 'Technical Features' rights to do that.
