In WooCommerce, user roles and permissions are essential to how you manage your ecommerce store — and how secure it is. With user roles, you can add team members or user accounts and assign them different roles and permissions.
User roles enhance security and facilitate efficient workflow management. They also support compliance with regulations by restricting access to personal data and enhance auditability by letting you track actions taken within the system.
By assigning specific roles to users, such as administrators, managers, or customers, you can customize access levels, safeguard sensitive information, and streamline operational processes.
