Restrict WooCommerce Products
This feature also supports WooCommerce Products so you can restrict access to them based on User Roles or the logged in status of the user. This works through the normal Content Restriction metabox that appears on Products (identic to the one that appears on posts/pages).

Restrict Elementor Widgets and Sections
The Content Restriction feature from Profile Builder works great with Elementor, allowing you to restrict widgets and sections directly from Elementor’s front-end visual interface.
