Topic Tag: Controlling access to admin function
Access plugin allows you to control administration capabilities in a WordPress site. You can create your own custom roles, set their permissions and choose exactly what sections different user roles can reach in the WordPress admin.
When you ask for help or report issues, make sure to tell us on which content and user types you are trying to apply access control.
Problem: When I create Custom Role in Access, if I do not give the user access to the post-type 'Posts' then they have no access to the admin dashboard - either in the front-end or via the admin URL. They keep getting forwarded directly to the WooCommerce dashboard and they get no admin toolbar either. I can think of situations (such as mine) where I want users to access some post-types but NOT be able to create Posts (i.e. news items).
Solution: Update to Access 2.8 to receive the fix for this issue, so that Access will override WooCommerce's built-in limitation.
