    Is this fully compatible with woocommerce?

    Also, in regards to switching. Is it possible to limit which accounts a user can switch too? ie run a check when you try to switch?

    For instance, I want to allow shop managers to be able to switch to a customers account. On my site each user/customer has a special field I added to the user details page “Account Number”…. not sure… can you say something like:

    If allowed to swtich user accounts AND user account your switching to has account X, then allow the switch.

    As long as you’re running WooCommerce 3.6 or higher, yes it’s fully compatible.

    Regarding restricting the ability to switch users, a user has the ability to switch to a user if they have the ability to edit that user, so that’s what you need to control really. You can try a plugin such as Members which gives you fine grained control over such capabilities.

    I tried enabling the “edit_users” permission using “User Role Editor” for “Shop Manager” role, however this did not allow that user role to switch users.

    I then tried adding the new permission “switch_users” for “Shop Manager” and that seemed to work.

    So is there another permission other than “edit_users” that needs to be enabled for switching users to work?
