Visibility by User Roles





In this Section you can find the options like Multiple User Roles Support and Each User Role Settings, We discuss each settings individually, by default Multiple User Roles Support is disabled detailed information is provided below.


Each User Role Settings


All User Roles are listed as separate accordion UI where Custom User Roles are also taken into account. For Non-Members we consider it as Guest User Role. For all User Roles Settings described below is same.


Show/Hide By: It has 3 set of options which is Products, Categories, or Both Products and Categories


If it is by Products then - All Products/Selected Products


If it is all products then all products in your site will be show/hide based on your preference/selection, but if it is selected products then only selected products will be show/hide (subject to visibility selection).


If it is by Categories then -  All Categories/Selected Categories


If it is all categories then all categories/selected categories will be show/hide based on visibility selection, with this option doesn't cover child categories associated with selected category and however we have one more option where you can select like Consider Child Categories which will be consider child categories as well.


If it is by Both then - All Products/Selected Products and All Categories or Selected Categories is applicable with conjunction  with each other. 


If it is all Products in both selection - Category/Selected Category selection will be hide which means all products itself contain category products and hence it is not valid.


But if selected products with all categories or selected products with selected categories are valid and hence that can be configured using the both selection.


Multiple User Role Support


This option is helpful when your site users has more than one role in your site. Let say  User A has Default User Role Customer and then admin goes to user dashboard and add more roles like shop manager/administrator role, when our plugin is active we take first matched role is the priority in the above case customer is the priority and we manage visibility based on that role, so when Multiple User Roles Support  is enabled then it role selection for the corresponding users depends on role priority which by default it is 10. 


Once you enabled that option Role Priority will be shown  in each Role Settings where lower the number higher the priority. 


Use Case: 


User A -> Multiple User Role like Customer and Shop Manager


Role Priority under settings like for customer it is 10 but for shop manager it is 1 then we consider shop manager for the corresponding user and hence shop manager settings taken into account. 


This Multiple User Role Support Settings not applicable with Guest Role





Global Visibility Settings


This options allow admin to set visibility for all users including guests in one place. But please note this settings is applicable only when each role settings inactive in visibility by user roles.  If each role settings is active then global settings won't applicable for that role.



 

Advanced Settings


Search Engine Visibility and Remove Category Product Counts are available in Advanced Section


Allow Search Engine Bot to index products visibility by default it was disallow means hide products won't visible in search engine.

 

Hide/Remove Category Products Count - Due to the performance issue recount the products associated with category after hiding the product is not feasible and hence remove that count by default as an option.
