Settings block

The settings block provides context-sensitive links to settings pages.

What appears in the setting block depends upon the Context (Page being shown and user's permissions). For example, the site administrator will notice the Front Page settings block has fewer options than the Course settings block and a student will have fewer options in the Course administration than a teacher.

Here are two unexpanded examples of the settings block:

• 

  FrontPage settings block

• 

  Course settings block
