===Administration block menus===
What appears in the Administration block depends upon where the user is and what role they have in that location. For example, a site administrator on the front page will have Front page settings while a teacher in a course will have more options in Course administration than a student.
The main menu items (Front page settings, Course Administration, My profile settings and Site Administration) contain a submenu and can be collapsed or expanded to display the (typical) full menu as shown below:
*[[Front_page_settings_block|Front page settings]]
**Turn edit on/off
**Edit settings
**Users
**Filters

Note: Since Moodle 3.2, the administration block has been replaced by a navigation drawer used with the Boost theme.


While the Boost theme does not need the administration block, other themes such as Clean, More or themes from the Plugins directory might still require it.

The Administration block may be added to provide context-sensitive links to settings pages. See the screencast: The Administration block for information about how the administration block works.

What appears in the Administration block depends upon where the user is and what role they have in that location. For example, a site administrator on the front page will have Front page settings while a teacher in a course will have more options in Course administration than a student.

Here are examples of the Administration block:

  • Admin view from Front page
