Governed ability
Update WooCommerce order status
aafm/wc-update-order-status Guarded write
Sets the status of a WooCommerce order by id. Accepts both the short form (e.g. "completed") and the wc-prefixed form (e.g. "wc-completed"). Requires the manage-WooCommerce capability.
How it is governed
The same model as every ability in the plugin, stated for this one.
- Off until you enable it
Like every ability, Update WooCommerce order status ships switched off. You turn it on one at a time, and an update never widens access on its own.
- Guarded write
Writes stay conservative, and the plugin re-checks the capability before the call runs.
- Capability gated
A connection only sees Update WooCommerce order status if the user you connected can run it, and the plugin checks that capability again before it executes.
- Every call audited
The call is written to the log in your own database, denials included, with the argument keys but never the values.
