Custom Role cannot view dashboard?
-
I’m trying to set up a role that will only allow the user to access and edit user information in the dashboard, and also view WooCommerce information such as order info and products. The role currently has the following permissions;
– edit_users
– list_users
– read
– read_private_pages
– read_private_posts
– read_private_products
– read_private_shop_coupons
– read_private_shop_orders
– read_product
– read_shop_coupon
– read_shop_order
– read_shop_webhook
– view_woocommerce_reportsHowever, the test account I have set up with this role cannot view the dashboard via /wp-admin. Am I missing something?

I’ve cracked it! My role needed a lot more than just those few permissions;
assign_product_terms assign_shop_coupon_terms assign_shop_order_terms assign_shop_webhook_terms connections_view_public delete_others_products delete_others_shop_coupons delete_others_shop_orders delete_others_shop_webhooks delete_private_products delete_private_shop_coupons delete_private_shop_orders delete_private_shop_webhooks delete_product delete_product_terms delete_products delete_published_products delete_published_shop_coupons delete_published_shop_orders delete_published_shop_webhooks delete_shop_coupon delete_shop_coupon_terms delete_shop_coupons delete_shop_order delete_shop_order_terms delete_shop_orders delete_shop_webhook delete_shop_webhook_terms delete_shop_webhooks edit_others_products edit_others_shop_coupons edit_others_shop_orders edit_others_shop_webhooks edit_private_products edit_private_shop_coupons edit_private_shop_orders edit_private_shop_webhooks edit_product edit_product_terms edit_products edit_published_products edit_published_shop_coupons edit_published_shop_orders edit_published_shop_webhooks edit_shop_coupon edit_shop_coupon_terms edit_shop_coupons edit_shop_order edit_shop_order_terms edit_shop_orders edit_shop_webhook edit_shop_webhook_terms edit_shop_webhooks edit_users list_users manage_links manage_product_terms manage_shop_coupon_terms manage_shop_order_terms manage_shop_webhook_terms manage_woocommerce publish_products publish_shop_coupons publish_shop_orders publish_shop_webhooks read read_private_pages read_private_posts read_private_products read_private_shop_coupons read_private_shop_orders read_private_shop_webhooks read_product read_shop_coupon read_shop_order read_shop_webhook unfiltered_html view_woocommerce_reportsThat’s good that your role needs ‘manage_woocommerce’ capability. In other case it still would not have access to admin dashboard.
In general WooCommerce checks a special filter, ‘manage_woocommerce’ or ‘edit_posts’ or ‘view_admin_dashboard’ capabilities to decide if user has access to admin dashboard. For more details read this article.
