Allow Woocommerce shop manager to assign a role when creating a user

Question

The custom role shop manager created by Woocommerce can only assign the customer role when adding a user.

I'm trying to let shop manager choose from the different roles by enabling the capability promote_users.

function shop_manager_add_users() {
    $role = get_role( 'shop_manager' );
    $role->add_cap( 'promote_users' );
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'shop_manager_add_users');

It's not working, the selection drop down only offers the customer role, and other roles are still hidden.

Is there another capability that should be enabled?

Actually Woocommerce adds specific restrictions to the Shop Manager role.

This worked and allowed a consigner custom role to be available in the dropdown :

function shop_manager_role_edit_cap( $roles ) {
    $roles[] = 'consigner';
    return $roles;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_shop_manager_editable_roles', 'shop_manager_role_edit_cap' );
