WordPress backend for WooCommerce customer user role. This will allow customer user role to access to wordpress backend and to publish/edit

WordPress backend for WooCommerce customer user role. This will allow customer user role to access to wordpress backend and to publish/edit posts (with this last feature you should take care as customer user role will have the ability to add/edit/publish posts, so backup your database before).
