WooCommerce edit order privilledge - php

Question

Hello i made a new role using Ultimate Member named stock_user
i want all users in the stock_user role only thing they can do
is to change the order status in wooCommerce admin page from processing to shipped only
i tried plugins but nothing worked im sorry i don't have any code but i don't know where to start
can anyone tell me where to start to make this work ?
i want to limit this dropdown menu options to processing & shipped only when a user with privildge stock_user is logged in
EDIT 2: Its now working as it should thank to IndexTwo Answer but the problem is that inventory role is a custom role made by Ultimate Member plugin how can i make the status work with it ? here is the code of Indextwo
function vnm_remove_woo_statuses($statuses) {
$currentUser = wp_get_current_user();
$removeStatusesArray = array('pending', 'completed', 'cancelled', 'refunded', 'failed', 'refund-issued', 'shipping-progress', 'on-hold');
// If it's inventory user role
if ( in_array('inventory', $currentUser->roles)) {
foreach ($removeStatusesArray as $status) {
if (isset($statuses['wc-' . $status])) {
unset($statuses['wc-' . $status]);
}
}
}
return $statuses;
}
add_filter('wc_order_statuses', 'vnm_remove_woo_statuses');
i mean it works when i change inventory to administrator just fine but how to get it working with the custom role (inventory) ? thank you

There are a couple of ways to approach the logic on this, but here's the function first:
function vnm_remove_woo_statuses($statuses) {
$currentUser = wp_get_current_user();
$removeStatusesArray = array('pending', 'completed', 'cancelled', 'refunded', 'failed', 'refund-issued', 'shipping-progress', 'on-hold');
// If it's any role other than administrator, remove the status
if (!in_array('administrator', $currentUser->roles)) {
foreach ($removeStatusesArray as $status) {
if (isset($statuses['wc-' . $status])) {
unset($statuses['wc-' . $status]);
}
}
}
// ALWAYS need to return the status array regardless
return $statuses;
}
add_filter('wc_order_statuses', 'vnm_remove_woo_statuses', 5, 1);
Note the last line of the function: you always need to return the value of a filter, regardless of the logic therein - otherwise things go wonky. I've also set a high priority of 5 just in case anything else was hooking in.
The conditional logic is currently set to remove statuses if ANY role other than administrator tried to edit an order:
if (!in_array('administrator', $currentUser->roles)) { /* Do stuff */ }
In your example, you were removing the statuses only for administrators. You could switch that around so that it only happens for stock_user users:
if (in_array('stock_user', $currentUser->roles)) { /* Do stuff */ }
...however, be aware that if you have the ability to add multiple roles to a user and add Stock User to an administrator, their access to ordser statuses would also be restricted here.
