+==========================================================
+Access to technical features without activating debug mode
+==========================================================
+
+In Odoo 9.0, the debug mode grants every employee user access to the technical
+features. This module enables persistent access to technical features based on
+group access.
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+After installation of this module, every employee can still access technical
+features for the applications that they have access to by enabling debug mode.
+Additionally, users can be assigned the *Technical feature (w/o debug mode)*
+access right on their user form which will enable technical features at any
+time. As an Odoo administrator, you might want to review who to grant this
+access to.
+
+Usage

+
+Known issues / Roadmap
+======================
+
+* As technical features is not a matter of privileges but of cosmetics, it might be nice to have this as a user configurable preference.
