Capability

1.Overview #

WCFM Marketplace allows you to set the permission level for vendors, managers and staffs with this powerful capability module, thus ensuring the admin gets total control over their marketplace. Capabilities can be set for 3 different user levels as required by the admin –

  • Globally
  • Individually
  • In groups 
Yes No

2.Hierarchy #

WCFM Marketplace has a given set of priority to avoid conflicts in assigned capabilities. The capabilities set by admin globally can be overwritten by groups and incase there are any defined capabilities for an individual user, it will enjoy the highest priority thus overwriting both Global and groups capabilities set.

Yes No

2.1.Vendor #

The admin can set vendor permissions globally,in groups or individually ( the later two are applicable only for site-owner using WCFM – Group & Staff plugin)

Yes No

2.1.1.Global #

Admin can set default vendor permissions globally. In that case, all the vendors in the marketplace will have these capabilities in common.

Go to: WCFM  Admin Dashboard -> Capability

From here admin can manage global permissions  for Products, Product Types, Inventory management, Withdrawal, Coupon management etc. 

Yes No

2.1.2.Group #

This will ensure you to setup different capabilities for different Membership user group. This settings will be available via WCFM – Group & Staff plugin.

WCFM – Group & Staff addon adds a new menu under admin dashboard “Groups”. From here vendor groups can be created. Now, admin can set different permissions on these groups based on their membership requirements.

You can check the setting from here:  WCFM  Admin Dashboard -> Groups

Admin will be able to check all the listings of the groups in the right side panel and can also Add a new group from “Add new” button on the top right corner of the panel-

The capabilities of each Group can be assigned while creating a new group or by editing an existing group. Here’s how you will see the capabilities settings tab of the group:

Once you click the capabilities tab, you shall get the configuration panel from where you can assign specific capabilities for that particular  group. Here’s a sample screenshot:

While setting the above options, one should keep in mind that when you are changing any particular capability of “Groups”, it overwrites the priority set Globally ( from the capabilities menu). Thus for example, if your Product Limit option in the capabilities tab as 100, and for a particular group you have allocated Product Limit to be 150, then all the vendors under that group will enjoy the product limit of 150 and not 100 which is set Globally.

Yes No

2.1.3.Individual #

 WCFM allows the admin to set different capabilities for individual vendors. This settings will be available via WCFM – Group & Staff plugin

It is to be noted that individual capabilities enjoys highest priority thus overwrites  group and global capability settings. 

Consider the following scenario :

Global capability setting ( from capability tab)- Product Limit: 100
Group 1 capability setting : Product Limit: 120
Vendor 1 (* who is in Group1)- Product Limit :150
In the above scenario, Vendor 1 will enjoy the product limit of 150 as provided by admin.
Next, let’s have a look into different user-roles offered by WCFM.

Jut to mention, WCFM – Ultimate is essential for “Limit Capabilities”

You can manage the vendors individually from this section here : WCFM  Admin Dashboard >> Vendors -> Vendor Manager -> Profile -> Custom Capability

Upon editing any selected vendors ( from the above list) you will be redirected to Manage Vendor page as shown here below. It will allow the admin to configure the settings for individual vendor accordingly:

The admin will additionally have the ability to set up capability for this particular vendor under the Profile section of this page as shown below:

On checking the Custom Capability option, the admin shall receive list of toggle options similar to Capability settings wherein he/she can assign the capabilities of the vendor accordingly:

 

Yes No

2.2.Shop Manager #

Using Groups and Staffs plugin, the admin can assign a manager for respective stores and allocate them to groups as well. Quite similar to Staff, the admin can set the capabilities of manager both on Globally and individual level.

Yes No

2.2.1.Global #

The admin can set the capability of a manager throughout the site by using Gobal settings. One can do the same from the following path: WCFM  Admin Dashboard -> Capability -> Shop manager capability.

The Manager capability settings will give you number of toggle options from where one can actually choose the capability of the Staffs globally ( throughout the site)

Yes No

2.2.2.Individual #

In addition to the Global settings for the Managers, the Groups and Staffs plugin also allows the admin to control the managers of the shop individually. The admin can do the same from here:   WCFm  Admin Dashboard -> Manager -> Manage Manager -> Custom Capability

For checking on the capabilities of the manager, the admin can click on the Edit icon which will him/her to manage-manager page providing editing options like Username, email etc.

In addition to those edits, the admin can set the capability for the particular member by checking the “ Custom capability” option provided. Here’s a screenshot below for better understanding:

From the toggle options given in the capabilities tab, the admin can set the required permission for the particular manager.

It’s to be noted that once a manager is assigned to a Group, then the capabilities of the group will prevail and hence the Custom capability option will not be available in the Edit manager page.

Additionally, one has to keep in mind that Individual capability set will always prevail over the Global settings provided in the site. So for example, if the Manage Product option is set to ON Globally ( for every manager of the site) and for a particular manager ( say manager1) the Manage Product option is OFF, then manager1 will not be allowed to manage the product of the assigned shop. 

Yes No

2.3.Shop Staff #

WCFM Marketplace allows a unique user level called “Staff” which allows the admin to associate them with vendor. Similar to vendor(s), WCFM Marketplace gives admin full access to control the capability of the Staffs assigned in the site.  The admin can manage Staff globally or individually depending upon their needs.

Yes No

2.3.1.Global #

The admin can default capability of staffs  from Global settings. Go to: WCFM  Admin Dashboard >> Capability >> Shop staff capability

The Staff capability settings will give you number of toggle options from where one can actually choose the capability of the Staffs globally.

Yes No

2.3.2.Individual #

The Admin can manage each individual staff by using individual settings provided by WCFM Groups and Staffs plugin. You can assign the capabilities of individual staff from here : WCFM  Admin Dashboard >> Staff -> Staff Manage -> Custom Capability

The staffs are listed in the right-side panel-

Once you edit any staff from the above list, you will be redirected to ”Edit Staff” page as shown here:

From the “edit staff” page the admin can assign the capability of the staff by checking the “custom capability” option in the Manage Staff page. Once checked, the admin will get toggle options similar to Capability panel wherein one can assign the capabilities of the Staffs.

Like vendor settings if you are changing any particular capability of a staff individually, it over-writes the priority set Globally ( from the capabilities menu). Thus for example, if your Manage Product  option in the capabilities tab as ON globally, and for a particular Staff ( say Staff 1) you have turned the option as OFF, then that particular Staff ( Staff 1) will not be allowed to manage the product of the vendor he/she is assigned to.

Yes No
