Restricting Blocks on Dashboards

Hi Support,

How would we go about doing the following:

Say we want to have a default "My Learning" dashboard page. So we create this in totara.

If we want to restrict one of those blocks to certain system roles, how would we do that? So everyone gets the same dashboard but certain roles don't see some blocks.

Is there a way of assigning permissions to these blocks that appear on the dashboad? Obviously this can be done for blocks on the front page etc, however I can't find a way of doing this for dashboard blocks.

Thanks,

Joe

Hi Joe,

Site admin>appearance>default my my learning page, click "customise this page".

If you click the "Assign roles" icon with the block you wish to edit then click on the "Permissions" under Settings you can then edit the who gets to see it! http://docs.moodle.org/22/en/Capabilities/moodle/block:view

Hope this is useful,

George.
