Governed ability

Delete WooCommerce product variation

aafm/wc-delete-product-variation Guarded write

Permanently deletes a product variation by id. This bypasses the Trash and cannot be undone. 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, Delete WooCommerce product variation 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 Delete WooCommerce product variation 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.

  • It can delete

    This ability can delete. Where WordPress supports it, items go to Trash and can be restored, and the last administrator can never be removed.
