Control who can manage BizPrint and use printer locations in WooCommerce

This page shows you how to choose which people can manage the BizPrint plugin for WooCommerce and which users can be linked to a printer location. It is for WooCommerce store owners and administrators.

What the two settings do

Both settings are on the Settings tab of the plugin, each with a list of Selected Roles. A role is a WordPress user role, such as the ones you see on the Users page in WordPress.

• Management Access User Roles decides who can open and change the BizPrint settings. The description reads “Select Roles for Access to Manage Print Settings”. Users with other roles cannot open the BizPrint settings.
• Location User Roles decides which people can be chosen in the Users list of a printer location. The description reads “Select Roles for Location Mapping to Users”. The Users list matters for orders taken in a point of sale, such as Jovvie Point of Sale, that are set to print. When Jovvie Point of Sale prints an order, it prints only at the printer locations whose Users list includes the staff member who placed the order. Website automatic printing does not use the Users list, so a printer location set to print website orders can also print that order. See Print Jovvie Point of Sale orders with BizPrint.

The Administrator role always keeps management access, and you cannot untick it.

Change who can manage BizPrint

1. Go to WooCommerce > Print Manager in WordPress.
2. Click the Settings tab.
3. Find the Management Access User Roles box.
4. Tick the roles that should be able to manage print settings.
5. Untick the roles that should not.
6. Click Save Changes.

New installs start with only the Administrator role. Before you save, make sure each person who needs to manage printing has one of the roles you ticked, because anyone else loses access to the BizPrint settings.

Change which users can be linked to a printer location

1. Go to WooCommerce > Print Manager in WordPress.
2. Click the Settings tab.
3. Find the Location User Roles box.
4. Tick the roles whose users you want to choose from in a printer location. By default, Administrator and Shop Manager are ticked.
5. Click Save Changes.

Add users to a printer location

1. Go to WooCommerce > Print Manager.
2. Click the Printers tab, which lists your printer locations.
3. Click the name of the printer location in the Description column.
4. Find the Users section.
5. Choose the users, or tick Automatically include all users (current and future) to include everyone.
6. Click Save Changes.

The Users list shows only users whose role is ticked in Location User Roles. If a person is missing from the list, tick their role on the Settings tab first.
