Allow Author to edit products and categories

Hello,

You can use a plugin like this (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/user-role-editor/) to allow particular user roles to access specific admin sections.

I do not trust third-party plugins like this one. One bug and all data can leak from the shop. I preffer to add some code in my functions.php file.

I was trying to add remove_submenu_page() for example:

remove_submenu_page('woocommerce', 'wc-settings');

With user ID conditional. But this option only hides menu, user can still visit this page if he type the correct URL in browser address bar. So this is completely not safe way to do that.

Any other ideas?
It can be also condtitional for specific user ID, not role.

Hi @trde,

If you need help with custom coding there are alternative channels more oriented to development related issues:

• WooCommerce Slack Community
• Advanced WooCommerce group on Facebook

Cheers.
