Orders are the most important segment for a online store as Money and Customer information are associated with those. It’s very much necessary for you to control what and how much of an Order you will allow to access/see to your store users. You have a full grief over those –
- View Orders – if you disable this then that user will have no access to Orders anymore
- View Order Details – to restrict order details as payment mode etc..
- Billing address – very sensitive customer data
- Shipping adderess
- Customer Email – customer contact info
- View/Submit comments – restrict over see/add/modify order notes
- PDF Invoice
