Order Role Manager for WooCommerce<\/strong> gives you powerful control over who can do what on your WooCommerce Orders.<\/p>\n\n

How It Works<\/h3>\n\n

The plugin provides a tab-based admin interface under WooCommerce \u2192 Order Role Manager<\/strong>, allowing you to restrict order actions based on user roles<\/strong> (and individual usernames in Pro).<\/p>\n\n

The plugin uses whitelisting based on user role + payment method. You define rules that say \u201cthis role may change an order to these specific statuses, but only when the order was paid with this payment method.\u201d For example: if you allow Shop Managers to move an order to Completed only when the payment method is Bank Transfer, then for Bank Transfer orders a Shop Manager will only be able to change the status to Completed\u2014all other statuses are blocked. If a status isn\u2019t explicitly allowed by a matching rule, the change is prevented.<\/p>\n\n

These same restrictions are enforced in the UI. In the Orders list \u2192 Actions column, any quick actions that would lead to a non-allowed status are hidden\/blocked for that user role. In Bulk actions, disallowed bulk status changes are removed\/blocked as well, so restricted users can\u2019t mass-update orders to statuses they\u2019re not allowed to use. This keeps both single-order actions and bulk workflows aligned with your role\/payment-based rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
