 * Hi there,
 * For my website I’m using the plugin [Woocommerce Variations to Table Grid](https://codecanyon.net/item/woocommerce-variations-to-table-grid/10494620),
   but I would like to restrict this one only for some roles ‘Administrator’ and‘
   wholesaler’. (my website is for wholesalers and ‘normal’ customer)
 * Anyway I was thinking to just desactivate the plugin by checking the user role
   so I tried the following solution : [http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/159085/deactivate-plugin-for-a-specific-user-group](http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/159085/deactivate-plugin-for-a-specific-user-group)
   
   Doesn’t work.
 * I’ve got a variable in my plugin called $vartable_disabled which is a boolean
   which “Disable globally” the plugin.
 * So I am thinking to do something in my functions.php like:
 *     ```
       add_action('admin_init', 'my_option_change_plugins');    
       function my_option_change_plugins()
       {
           global $current_user;
           if (!in_array('administrator' || 'wholesaler', $current_user->roles)) {
               deactivate_plugins( // activate for variation-table
       			$vartable_disabled == 0
                               $vartable_position == 'under'
               );
           } else { // desactivate for those than can't use it
               activate_plugins(
       			$vartable_disabled == 1
                               $vartable_position == 'side'
               );
           }
       ```
   
 * But for sure I’m doing something wrong, I tried plenty of different thing the
   whole day, impossible to figure it out.
 * Anyone can help?
 * Cheers 🙂
