+ Control access to Apps
+========================
+
+Installation
+============
+
+* `Install <https://odoo-development.readthedocs.io/en/latest/odoo/usage/install-module.html>`__ this module in a usual way
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+After the installation of this module by default only *default admin* and *superuser* have access to installing modules.
+To update the permission follow for other users follow the steps below.
+
+
+* Open menu ``[[ Settings ]] >> Users & Companies >> Users``, select the user you want to grant the access to
+* On ``Access Rights`` tab, ``Other`` settings group there is an ``Apps access`` security category
+
+ * Select ``Allow installing apps`` - to allow apps installation from everywhere
+ * Select ``Allow installing apps only from settings`` - allow apps installation only from other module's ``Configuration >> Settings`` menu. More precisely, it just hides ``[[ Apps ]]`` menu
+ * Select blank line - to restrict application installation
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+* Be sure that you don't test the functionality under the ``Administrator`` (superuser with id=1) user - he is immune to any access restriction except of hiding menus or buttons in UI
+* If you don't select anything in ``Apps access``: there is no ``[[ Apps ]]`` menu - even if your user is in ``Administration: Settings`` security group. Also note that you
+  have no ability to include yourself in groups allowing to installing apps - this is what ``access_restricted`` module does (``access_apps`` depends on it)
+* If you have ``Allow installing apps`` selected: there is ``[[ Apps ]]`` menu
+* If you have ``Allow installing apps only from settings``: from other module's ``Configuration >> Settings`` menu, e.g. from ``[[ Website ]] >> Configuration >> Settings`` see that
+  you have the ability to check the ``Digital Content`` checkbox that actually installs the ``website_sale_digital`` module after clicking on ``[Apply]`` button.
