Order Management Permissions
With Liferay Commerce, you can use permissions to control access to Order Management applications and resources in the Commerce tab of the Global Menu (
).
You can manage Order Management permissions for user roles under Commerce → Order Management in the Define Permissions tab. Assign permissions individually, or check Action to assign all permissions for an application or resource.

Shipments: This application is used for viewing and managing Shipments generated for Orders across a Liferay instance.
