Custom User Roles

[jcampbell05]

We want to only allow certain users to be able to administrate orders that are assigned to them, is this possible ?

Unfortunately, it's not possible now.
Could you give us more context, please? What is you business process and why do you need this feature?

[jcampbell05]

We want to deliver orders for locations for the end-user to collect. We want these locations to be able to mark when an order has been collected but to only see the orders that will arrive at that location so they don't mark orders for other locations as collected :)

[sugarfree1]

If I got your idea correctly then you need roles for order types. Is it so?

[jcampbell05]

@sugarfree1 roles for order location.

Just to clarify, location is a custom field in your business process and it is stored in your order data. So you want to filter orders by custom fields for users. Did I get you idea correctly?

[jcampbell05]

Yes :) so User A only sees orders for User A based on a field (or even just the business logic assigning it to that user) and User B only sees orders for User B :)

Ok, I got it. We are planning to add the user groups feature in future and try to cover your use-case.

For now I could advise you a workaround. You could assign orders with a third party tool through REST API and filter them on the index page. Unfortunately the orders would still remain visible to other users.
