Sunshine Manager Role and Capabilities

If you want to give access to someone to help with just your Sunshine Photo Cart client photo galleries but not your entire admin, you can use the Sunshine Manager role.

WordPress allows for many types of user Roles. When installed, Sunshine Photo Cart creates a new role called "Sunshine Manager". Just like creating a new customer account, you can go to Users > Add new but set the role to "Sunshine Manager" instead.

When a user is logged in to a Sunshine Manager role, they will only see a limited set of admin pages only for Sunshine Photo Cart:

Configuring specifically which areas a Sunshine Manager can access

Sunshine Photo Cart uses the WordPress capabilities system to determine who can access which areas a user can access. By default, Administrators and Sunshine Manager users can access everything. However, you can further refine the Sunshine Manager role to have even more limited access.
