Role Membership Access for WooCommerce lets you restrict WooCommerce product visibility, purchasing, add-to-cart, cart, and checkout access based on WordPress user roles.
You can: 
* Restrict access using Category Allowed Roles (Products → Categories). 
* Restrict access using Product Allowed Roles with Access Mode (Products → Edit Product). 
* Prevent unauthorized users from: 
 – Viewing restricted products in the shop/catalog (theme dependent, hardened via filters) 
 – Adding restricted products to cart 
 – Purchasing restricted products 
 – Completing checkout if restricted products are in cart
The plugin provides: 
* A WooCommerce Settings tab: WooCommerce → Settings → WooRole Access 
* Per-category role restrictions 
* Per-product role restrictions with Access Mode (Inherit / Manual / Combine) 
* Multi-category conflict strategy options (Union / Intersection / Priority Category) 
* Optional redirect for unauthorized users 
* A reliable inline notice shown above product title (supports block themes)
<h3>Setup / Configuration</h3>
<h4>Step 1: Configure global plugin settings</h4>
Go to: 
WooCommerce → Settings → WooRole Access
Available settings: 
1. Restriction Message 
 – The message displayed when a user is blocked. 
2. Redirect Unauthorized Users 
 – If enabled, blocked users will be redirected to the URL below. 
3. Redirect URL 
 – Recommended: My Account page or a custom “Join Membership” page. 
4. Multi-Category Strategy 
 – Determines behavior when a product belongs to multiple restricted categories: 
 – Union (OR): allowed roles from any restricted category (recommended default) 
 – Intersection (AND): user must match all restricted categories 
 – Priority Category: use only the product’s “Primary Category” 
5. Default Primary Category (for Priority Strategy) 
 – Used as a default selection for products when Priority Strategy is enabled.
<h4>Step 2: Restrict categories (recommended first)</h4>
Go to: 
Products → Categories → Add/Edit Category
Set: 
Allowed Roles (multi-select)
Behavior: 
* If a category has Allowed Roles set, products in that category are restricted depending on their Product Access Mode.
<h4>Step 3: Restrict individual products (when needed)</h4>
Go to: 
Products → Edit Product → Product data → General
Fields: 
1. Access Mode 
 – Inherit from Categories (default) 
 – Manual Override 
 – Combine (Manual + Categories) 
2. Allowed Roles (Manual) 
 – Used only for Manual Override or Combine 
3. Primary Category (for Priority Strategy) 
 – Used only when global Multi-Category Strategy = Priority Category
<h3>How Access Mode Works</h3>
<h4>Inherit from Categories</h4>
The product uses category Allowed Roles only. 
* If no categories have restrictions, product is unrestricted.
<h4>Manual Override</h4>
The product ignores category restrictions and uses Allowed Roles (Manual) only.
<h4>Combine (Manual + Categories)</h4>
The product is accessible if the user matches either: 
* Product manual roles OR 
* Category roles
<h3>Multi-Category Strategy (Conflict Handling)</h3>
When a product belongs to multiple categories with different Allowed Roles:
1) Union (OR) 
– Allowed roles are combined from all restricted categories. 
– Prevents accidental lockouts. Recommended for most stores.
2) Intersection (AND) 
– Allowed roles are the overlap of restricted category roles. 
– Can lock products if categories disagree (use carefully).
3) Priority Category 
– Only one category drives access. 
– Select a Primary Category in product settings. 
– Optionally set a Default Primary Category globally to reduce per-product setup.
<h3>Blocking Behavior</h3>
If a user is not authorized: 
* Product may be hidden from catalog (theme dependent) 
* User cannot add to cart 
* User cannot proceed with checkout if restricted items are in the cart 
* Notice is injected above the product title (block-theme friendly) 
* Optional redirect can be enabled
<h3>Example: Restrict a Category to Subscriber Only</h3>
<ol>
<li>Go to Products → Categories</li>
<li>Edit the category (example: “Members Only”)</li>
<li>In Allowed Roles, select: subscriber</li>
<li>Save</li>
</ol>
All products in that category will be restricted based on their Access Mode: 
– Inherit: category restriction applies 
– Manual: product manual roles apply instead 
– Combine: both apply
<h3>Example: Restrict a Product to Editor Only</h3>
<ol>
<li>Go to Products → Edit Product</li>
<li>Product Data → General</li>
<li>Access Mode: Manual Override</li>
<li>Allowed Roles (Manual): editor</li>
<li>Save</li>
</ol>
Result: only users with editor role can view/purchase.
