The administration block is used to provide context-sensitive links to settings pages when using the Clean or More theme, or a custom theme based on Clean.


The settings block is new to Moodle 2.0.  It can be found on most pages in the left column. It is composed of links to sub menus.  When the link is clicked the sub menu expands below it.
(The [[Boost theme]] in Moodle 3.2 onwards uses gear icon links to provide access to settings pages rather than the administration block.)


Many of the sub menus have the same functions as older versions of Moodle.  
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.


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. 
Here are examples of the Administration block:
<gallery widths="400px" heights="400px" perrow="3">


Here are two unexpanded examples of the settings block:

Note: In Moodle 3.2 onwards, the Competencies and Grades links have been moved from the Administration block to the Navigation block (or nav drawer if using Boost) so that the Administration block does not need to be shown to students.
The site administrator will see 3 categories in the setting block on the front page of the site.  A teacher or student will not see as many things. Clicking on any of these expands the menu selection. Here are the areas a submenu links:

The administration block is used to provide context-sensitive links to settings pages when using the Clean or More theme, or a custom theme based on Clean.

(The Boost theme in Moodle 3.2 onwards uses gear icon links to provide access to settings pages rather than the administration block.)

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:

Note: In Moodle 3.2 onwards, the Competencies and Grades links have been moved from the Administration block to the Navigation block (or nav drawer if using Boost) so that the Administration block does not need to be shown to students.
