One of my projects required me to create a new role based on the Shop Manager role provided by WooCommerce. Essentially, I need to develop a custom plugin to disable many of the administrative functions provided by WordPress and use a Roles & Capabilities plugin to lock the Shop Manager to only WooCommerce.
Roles & Capabilities Plugin
I used the following plugin to help me manage the roles & capabilities of my WordPress permissions: Advanced Access Manager
Adding New Orders
Location: WooCommerce -> Orders -> Add Order
The following capability is required in order to manage shop orders
- manage_woocommerce
- This may give too much “admin” access so make sure to use Advanced Access Manager to further eliminate access you need.
- edit_shop_orders
- view_woocommerce_reports
- edit_posts
- This will give the user the ability to edit posts too (make sure to remove this from side & admin bar menu.
