Letting WooCommerce Shop Manager create an event?

[zobel]

Hi,
How do I get a “Normal User” with the role “Shop Manager” (Actually a role name from Woocommerce) create edit and delete events?
I’m reading and reading about custom roles and links back to standard WP roles – But noda about an excact little “cute” tickoff box (Let Shop Manager manage his/hers job and create events/tickets that we can sell in the SHOP!?
Some forum posts speaks like it’s a secret?
and are using:
add_role(‘shop_manager’, __(‘Shop Manager’, ‘woocommerce’), array(
‘read’ => true,
‘read_private_pages’ => true,
‘read_private_posts’ => true,
‘edit_posts’ => true,
‘edit_pages’ => true,
‘edit_published_posts’ => true,
‘edit_published_pages’ => true,
‘edit_private_pages’ => true,
—- CUT OFF —-
Others are using:
add_role( ‘custom_role’, ‘Custom Role’, array(
‘manage_options’ => true,
‘delete_others_pages’ => true,
‘delete_others_posts’ => true,
‘delete_pages’ => true,
‘delete_posts’ => true,
‘delete_private_pages’ => true,
(See link: http://snippi.com/s/vlgnuk8 )
But nada about where – How to or anything!
Now it might be me… or my theme or 117 other things!
But adding WooCommerce was a brise… Adding The Cal – OK
Adding The PRO Cal (Fair) But my “USER” do NOT need or want FULL admin rights to handle a event – And I do not want to get stuck in the office creating all events every week??!! 😉
So please show a Copy/Paste version to GET a “Shop Manager” to actually do a simple job like creating one event! or make me a tickoff control that do it!!
Can’t wait for your help… I’m leaving the office soon… 🙂

Hi, zobel. Thanks for all the info about what you’ve done so far.

Please check out our roles FAQ (https://theeventscalendar.com/faqs/what-plugin-capabilities-are-there-for-creating-custom-roles/). That should give you what you need to give them the permissions you want.

Let us know how it goes!

Hi Kelly,
Thanks for your reply!
Is there a “HOW-TO”? … I mean where to I put them?

Am I to use: add_role(‘shop_manager’, __(‘Shop Manager’, ‘woocommerce’), array(

OR

add_role( ‘custom_role’, ‘Custom Role’, array(

I am just wanting to have a Normal user ROLE: “Shop Manager” to be able to create events, edit and delete etc. (Like an admin)!!

Hi, zobel. Unfortunately, we don’t have a tutorial for modifying user roles, and it’s a bit outside of our support purview.

If the document that I shared with you is insufficient for you to get it working, perhaps you could investigate using a third-party role manager? That might be the simplest solution for you.

Hi, zobel. It looks like you’ve moved on, so I’m going to close this thread. Please feel free to start a new one if you have any other questions.

Have a great weekend!
