 * Hi,
 * I need to set a user role for order manager as shop manager has to many rigths.
   
   The problem is that the role I created is too limited.
 * Missing role permission for this user in order to be able to
    – add a coupon 
   code to an existing order? – add a product that is a variable to an existing 
   order? – add a new order?
 * I want to prevent this user to add/edit/delete Product and Coupon
 * I have created a custom role
    with these permissions, let me know what is missing
   in order to get the role permissions as required.
 * view_admin_dashboard
    read
 * assign_shop_order_terms
    delete_others_shop_orders delete_private_shop_orders
   delete_published_shop_orders delete_shop_order delete_shop_order_terms delete_shop_orders
   edit_others_shop_orders edit_private_shop_orders edit_published_shop_orders edit_shop_order
   edit_shop_order_terms edit_shop_orders manage_shop_order_terms publish_shop_orders
   read_private_shop_orders read_shop_order
 * Thanks
 * Please do not just refer a plugin I need to understand the missing permissions,
   thanks

   so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.

 * I cannot figure out the permission for
 * – add a coupon code to an existing order?
    – add a new order?

 * I’m looking for the add coupon capability with no luck
 * It is not related to the extention itself it is just not documented anywhere 
   WP Woo…
 * To my opinion it’s not making sense that the store manager or other role that
   can edit an order cannot add a coupon.
 * This is possible to remove a coupon but it is not possible to add one to the 
   existing order..
 * In my case the coupon is applied based on subtotal and if the product qty is 
   changed on the existing order the coupon logical is not update and make no sense.
 * I just don’t know how store owner manage this if they are not admin?

 * Ask the Woocommerce folks. This is the wrong part of the forum for that.
