Custom role & Woocommerce

Hi,

The workaround is to add ‘edit_posts’ to the ‘Factory Manager’ role. WooCommerce has the code with this comment:
“Prevent any user who cannot ‘edit_posts’ (subscribers, customers etc) from accessing admin”

Hey Vladimir,

I tried it and it fixed it. But (as every time ?? ) i don’t want my Factory Manager can create posts…

Any advise to fix it differently ?

Thanks

WooCommerce manage this with code:

/**
	 * Prevent any user who cannot 'edit_posts' (subscribers, customers etc) from accessing admin
	 */
	public function prevent_admin_access() {

		$prevent_access = false;

		if ( 'yes' === get_option( 'woocommerce_lock_down_admin', 'yes' ) && ! is_ajax() && ! ( current_user_can( 'edit_posts' ) || current_user_can( 'manage_woocommerce' ) ) && basename( $_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"] ) !== 'admin-post.php' ) {
			$prevent_access = true;
		}

		$prevent_access = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_prevent_admin_access', $prevent_access );

		if ( $prevent_access ) {
			wp_safe_redirect( wc_get_page_permalink( 'myaccount' ) );
			exit;
		}
	}

so add to your theme functions.php file following code:

add_filter('woocommerce_prevent_admin_access', 'allow_admin_for_fm_role', 10, 1);
function allow_admin_for_fm_role($prevent_access) {
   if (current_user_can('factory_manager')) {
     $prevent_access = false;
   }

   return $prevent_access;
}

hi Vladimir,
I want to customize a role who can approve order after its placed and also track which user approved the order.

Can you please help me with this.

Thanks.

I mean admin should be able to track which user approved the order.
