Prevent shop manager from woocommerce settings.

Hi,

Create custom role on the base of ‘Shop Manager’ and try exclude ‘manage_%’ capabilities from it.

Regards,
Vladimir.

Hi,
Thanks for your quick respond.

I’ve tried to do that, but Custom capabilities list is not including other woocommerce capabilities (manage woocommerce products, manage woocommerce coupons etc. ) There is only “manage_woocommerce” to chose from. I don’t know how to create new woocommerce capabilities (manage_woocommerce_product). I am not good with PHP etc.

If I don’t chose “manage_woocommerce” option, there is no access to WordPress dashboard from that user account.

From list below I have only first option to chose from Custom capabilities list:

Shop Manager role:
manage_woocommerce
manage_woocommerce_orders
manage_woocommerce_coupons
manage_woocommerce_products

Please can you advise me how to do that.

Regards,
Dom.

Those capabilities should be created automatically during WooCommerce installation.
I suppose that you use some old version of WooCommerce. You need to install the latest one.

Hi,
Yes, you were right. I had old version of woocommerce.
Now is everything fine. Thanks

Kind of same problem for me. I have updated WooCommerce to the latest version. But I only have this

manage_capabilities
manage_product_terms
manage_shop_coupon_terms
manage_shop_order_terms
manage_woocommerce

If I remove manage_woocommerce the user have no access to dashboard. I would like the user to be able to see orders and reports but not edit the WooCommerce settings.

Hi,
I try to give the shop manager only right to see (new) order, print invoice and shipping label, but I didn’ get it. I have new woocommerce.
Can you help please?
Thank you very much,
Ole

I have checked on

edit_shop_order
edit_shop_orders
manage_woocommerce_orders
read_shop_order

The shop manager shows orders and add orders, but when I click as shop manager on “view order” I don’t have access. So the shop manager can’t see the order details to do the packing.

Try to add ‘edit_others_shop_orders’ capability. ‘View’ link opens order for editing really.

This works fine, thank you very much!

Hi there, this is exactly the post item i was looking for but for me no solution here just lke jannejava above.

There are no capabilities in user role manager for excluding/hiding the woocommerce settings (and add-ons) for shopmanager or editors.

Can you please advice here valdimir?

Would be great, thanks!

User Role Editor Pro “Administrator menu access” add-on may help you:

I found the solution guys (thanks to the support staff):

WATCH OUT: be really carefull since this may break things down. BAckup your files and shop before you do this.

Place this in your functions.php:

add_action( ‘admin_menu’, ‘wooninja_remove_items’, 99, 0 );

function wooninja_remove_items() {
$remove = array( ‘wc-settings’, ‘wc-status’, ‘wc-addons’, );
foreach ( $remove as $slug ) {
if ( ! current_user_can( ‘update_core’ ) ) {
remove_submenu_page( ‘woocommerce’, $slug );
}
}
}

Hey Vladimir, hope you can help!
I want to give my shipping helper permission to view products (he needs to know what exact was sold for packing), but not to edit product or add new.
I assumed read_product would help, but this didn’t show the products.
I have selected:
Core capabilities:
edit_posts
read
Custom capabilities:
edit_others_shop_orders
edit_shop_order
edit_shop_orders (btw, what is the different between order and orders)
manage_woocommerce_orders
read_shop_order

How can I give him permission to see the products at backend?
Thanks,
Ole

Hi Ole,

WooCommerce “Products” is a WordPress custom post type. Similar to the ‘posts’ or ‘pages’ the ‘products’ does not have view capability at back-end. There is no such functionality at WordPress.
In order to get access to ‘Products’ user should have ‘edit_products’ capability for own products and ‘edit_others_products’ for access to the products of other users.
