Hiding blocks from certain users

Template:Moodle 1.9From Moodle 1.9 onwards, there is a moodle/block:view capability which allows control of which users can view blocks from the roles system. This feature works with all blocks (including third party blocks)

Example: Hiding course block from guests

  1. Login as a user who has permission to control blocks on the page you are interested in (e.g. teacher/admin)
  2. At the top of every block there should be a face-and-mask icon, the mouseover tooltop says "assign roles", click this icon on the top of the course block
  3. Click on "override roles" to switch to viewing role overrides
  4. Choose the "Guest" role from the list of roles
  5. Change the View Block permission to prevent
  6. Save changes
  7. Guests should no longer be able to see the course block
