Access<\/a> plugin lets you do all this and more, without writing a single line of code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember that your WooCommerce store is only a part of the site. When you create new roles, you need to consider everything that they need to do on the site, including any e-commerce related tasks. Use the following steps to create your own roles with custom permissions for WooCommerce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you create the new role, if you want the user to have no inherent capabilities (allowing you to add specific capabilities with Access), do not select any role to copy privileges from. This will give no permissions to the role and you will be able to add all capabilities manually. In case you want to give users the same capabilities as authors (being able to write and edit their own content), select to copy privileges from Author<\/strong> role. To create users who can edit any content, select to copy privileges from Editor<\/strong> role. This setting will adjust the capabilities for content editing, so you can just set the WooCommerce capabilities manually.<\/p>\n\n\n For step-by-step information, read the complete documentation on setting WordPress admin capabilities<\/a><\/span> and access to WordPress content<\/a>.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n Access to orders, coupons or products is set by the corresponding post type table and access to reports is set with a WooCommerce capability. In any case, a role must have <\/strong>manage_woocommerce capability, in order to be able to access WooCommerce administration pages<\/strong>. You can use the following table as a starting point for useful roles in advanced WooCommerce sites. Of course, this is only our suggestion. You should enable the specific capabilities that you need for different roles in your own sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Accountant<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Service representative<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Content author<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Purpose 1<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n An accountant should be able to produce reports and view individual orders. No edit privileges are granted for products, coupons or promotions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n A service representative can see individual orders, but doesn\u2019t have access to reports. No access to product editing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n A content author can edit products, as well as standard WordPress content. No access to sales information. A user level of 7 grants editing capabilities to WordPress content, without administration privileges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Add copy privileges from 2<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n 0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n 0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n 7<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n manage_woocommerce<\/em> capability<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n YES<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n YES<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n YES<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n view_woocommerce_reports<\/em> capability<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n YES<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n NO<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n NO<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Orders<\/em> post type table settings<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Read, Edit any, Delete any, Publish<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Read, Edit any, Delete any, Publish<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Read, Edit any, Delete any, Publish<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Coupons<\/em> post type table settings<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n None<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n None<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Read, Edit any, Delete any, Publish<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Products<\/em> post type table settings<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n None<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n None<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Read, Edit any, Delete any, Publish<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n 1<\/sup> We defined the purpose of these roles based on our experience running an online business. Your needs might be different, so you may need to create different roles with different capabilities. Access<\/em> plugin lets you define any role that you choose and grant the capabilities that you need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 2<\/sup> Copying the privileges from an existing role automatically sets the built-in WordPress capabilities, to match those of the closest built-in role. You can achieve the same capabilities by not copying privileges from any role and manually granting individual capabilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4341,"featured_media":1664833,"template":"","related-lesson":[8445],"class_list":["post-196354","course-lesson","type-course-lesson","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","related-lesson-e-commerce"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/toolset.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/course-lesson\/196354","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/toolset.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/course-lesson"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/toolset.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/course-lesson"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toolset.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4341"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/toolset.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/course-lesson\/196354\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1691457,"href":"https:\/\/toolset.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/course-lesson\/196354\/revisions\/1691457"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toolset.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1664833"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/toolset.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=196354"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"related-lesson","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toolset.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/related-lesson?post=196354"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Creating custom roles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
