 * Currently, when adding an API key there are no options to change the scope, for
   ex. to exclude customer data access.
 * Is it future development or are there hidden options when generating an OAuth
   URL?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwoocommerce-api-access-scope%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Currently you can set write / read permissions: [https://d.pr/i/Jas9hI](https://d.pr/i/Jas9hI)–
   other than that WooCommerce API keys are per user and therefore abide by that
   user’s capability. For reference: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-user-role-after-having-generated-api-keys/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-user-role-after-having-generated-api-keys/)
