# Control who can manage BizPrint and use printer locations in WooCommerce

Section: Manage

> Choose which WordPress user roles can open the BizPrint plugin settings and which users can be added to a printer location.

This page shows you how to choose which people can manage the [BizPrint plugin for WooCommerce](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#bizprint-plugin-for-woocommerce) and which users can be linked to a [printer location](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#printer-location). It is for WooCommerce store owners and administrators.

## What the two settings do

Both settings are on the **Settings** tab of the plugin, each with a list of **Selected Roles**. A role is a WordPress user role, such as the ones you see on the **Users** page in WordPress.

- **Management Access User Roles** decides who can open and change the BizPrint settings. The description reads “Select Roles for Access to Manage Print Settings”. Users with other roles cannot open the BizPrint settings.
- **Location User Roles** decides which people can be chosen in the **Users** list of a printer location. The description reads “Select Roles for Location Mapping to Users”. The **Users** list matters for orders taken in a point of sale, such as Jovvie Point of Sale, that are set to print. When Jovvie Point of Sale prints an order, it prints only at the printer locations whose **Users** list includes the staff member who placed the order. Website automatic printing does not use the **Users** list, so a printer location set to print website orders can also print that order. See [Print Jovvie Point of Sale orders with BizPrint](https://docs.getbizprint.com/set-up/jovvie-point-of-sale/).

The **Administrator** role always keeps management access, and you cannot untick it.

## Change who can manage BizPrint

1. Go to **WooCommerce** > **Print Manager** in WordPress.
2. Click the **Settings** tab.
3. Find the **Management Access User Roles** box.
4. Tick the roles that should be able to manage print settings.
5. Untick the roles that should not.
6. Click **Save Changes**.

New installs start with only the **Administrator** role. Before you save, make sure each person who needs to manage printing has one of the roles you ticked, because anyone else loses access to the BizPrint settings.

## Change which users can be linked to a printer location

1. Go to **WooCommerce** > **Print Manager** in WordPress.
2. Click the **Settings** tab.
3. Find the **Location User Roles** box.
4. Tick the roles whose users you want to choose from in a printer location. By default, **Administrator** and **Shop Manager** are ticked.
5. Click **Save Changes**.

## Add users to a printer location

1. Go to **WooCommerce** > **Print Manager**.
2. Click the **Printers** tab, which lists your printer locations.
3. Click the name of the printer location in the **Description** column.
4. Find the **Users** section.
5. Choose the users, or tick **Automatically include all users (current and future)** to include everyone.
6. Click **Save Changes**.

The **Users** list shows only users whose role is ticked in **Location User Roles**. If a person is missing from the list, tick their role on the **Settings** tab first.
