# Create a “View-Only” User

 * Hi. I am trying to create a custom user role where the only thing the user can
   do is view (but not edit) the orders page. I do not want this user to be able
   to change anything on the site in any way.
 * I have tried using the plugin but haven’t figured out how to achieve this.
    Any
   help would be really appreciated!

 * It’s impossible to achieve changing role or user capabilities. User can see full
   WooCommerce order details at the WP admin backend just opening order for editing.
