Woocommerce shop manager role, hide woocommerce menu

1. You can use WordPress’s ‘remove_menus()‘ function to do this.

   Store Managers have a capability: ‘manage_woocommerce’

   You can see that they are allowed to see the WooCommerce admin menu here:
   ‘/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/admin/class-wc-admin-menus.php’

   Look for: $main_page = add_menu_page( __( 'WooCommerce', 'woocommerce' ), __( 'WooCommerce', 'woocommerce' ), 'manage_woocommerce', 'woocommerce' , array( $this, 'settings_page' ), null, '55.5' );

   So much for the theory. To stop this admin menu item from displaying for anyone but an Administrator, add this to your functions.php file or plugin:

   add_action( 'admin_menu', 'remove_menus' );
   function remove_menus(){
   
       // If the current user is not an admin
       if ( !current_user_can('manage_options') ) {
   
           remove_menu_page( 'woocommerce' ); // WooCommerce admin menu slug
   
       }
   }

2. Don’t have the rep points to add a comment, but needs to change the hooked action from:

   add_action( 'admin_menu', 'remove_menus' );
   

   to:

   add_action( 'admin_init', 'remove_menus' );
   

   and then you can do something like:

   function remove_menus(){
   
       // If the current user is not an admin
       if ( !current_user_can('manage_options') ) {
   
           remove_submenu_page('woocommerce', 'wc-status');
   
       }
   }
   

   if you are trying to remove core woocommerce submenu items.
