    Hi Jawad,

    Yes, it’s possible.
    This 3 WooCommerce menu items are protected by ‘manage_woocommerce’ user capability.
    If, for example to create new role as a copy of a ‘Shop Manager’ role and switch off a ‘manage_woocommerce’ capability for it, then user with such new role will not see ‘WooCommerce’ menu (protected by the same ‘manage_woocommerce’ capability), including ‘Settings’, ‘System Status’, ‘Add-Ons’, but see 3 new top level menus ‘Coupons’, ‘Orders’, ‘Sales Reports’ instead.

    Hi Vladimir,

    Thank you for your response. I have not been able to duplicate the ‘Shop Manager’ role but I have created a new role and assigned it the capabilities it requires.

    If I untick ‘manage_woocommerce’ capability, then this user loses access to WordPress Dashboard?

    Many Thanks,
    Jawad

    Hi Vladimir,

    Appreciate the link, I have read it and see it requires adding code to the theme function files. I was wondering if their was a way to do this via the plugin?

    I have found this link of yours: https://www.role-editor.com/woocommerce-menu-manage-access/

    Does this still exist? Furthermore, is it possible to restrict access to Product Categories, Tags, Shipping Classes & Attributes.

    Also so that users can only view products but not add or edit products?

    Many Thanks,
    Jawad

    Hi Jawad,

    It’s possible to setup that code as a ‘must use’ plugin:
    https://codex.wordpress.org/Must_Use_Plugins

    is it possible to restrict access to Product Categories, Tags, Shipping Classes & Attributes

    All 4 menu items are protected by ‘manage_product_terms’ user capability. More detailed permissions are managed by other ‘%_product_terms’ capabilities, like ‘edit_product_terms’, etc.

    Hi Vladimir,

    Thank you for that. I do not entirely understand the ‘must use plugin’, how do I access this page:

    https://storage.googleapis.com/role-editor/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/user-role-editor-limited-access-to-woocommerce-menu.png

    on your plugin? It seems to have a backend editor to limit access to WooCommerce Settings, System Status, Add-Ons etc?

    Many Thanks,
    Jawad

    Hi Jawad,

    This screenshot is done from the Pro version of User Role Editor. “Admin menu access” add-on is included to it:

    Hi Vladimir,

    Thank you. If I purchase the pro plugin, will I be able to hide System Status, Add-Ons, Product Categories etc from the plugin backend?

    Many Thanks,
    Jawad

    Yes, you will be able to hide/block unneeded menu items from the “WooCommerce” menu with Pro version of User Role Editor.

    If you add to a user ‘edit_products’ to give him access to the ‘Products’ menu and a products list, but do not give him ‘create_products’ capability activated with a Pro version, then the only ‘View’ link will be available for such user under each product at back-end, as all products were created by other users.

    Just a remind: it’s possible to hide ‘System Status, Add-Ons, Product Categories’ menu items with a free version too, if you exclude from the copy of ‘shop_manager’ role ‘manage_woocoomerce’ capability. In order to not lose access to the dashboard is enough to setup special filter.

    Hi Vladimir,

    Ah right, the earlier mentioned method of adding code to the theme function file?

    I think I will buy the Pro version, it will be easier to manage from backend but also you have very good support.

    Many Thanks,
    Jawad
