Hiding blocks from certain users
From Moodle 1.9 there is a [[Capabilities/moodle/block:view] moodle/block:view] capability which allows control of blocks based on the roles system.
Example: Hiding course block from guests
- Login as a user who has permission to control blocks on the page you are interested in (e.g. teacher/admin)

- Choose the "Guest" role from the list of roles
- Change the [[Capabilities/moodle/block:view]View Block] permission to prevent
